I am looking for a really nice looking icon set for Gnome. Is NuoveXT the best one?

Opinions?

All themes are subjective and based on personal preferences. Many icon themes may have specific icons that you find attractive or go well with your overall theme. You might try investigating this site before making a decision....

Hope this helps....

It depends on what kind of theme you're using. I'm using a dark/light theme (window decorations and panels are black while the rest of the windows are lighter) so I use Oxygen Refit - Black version: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=83623

I used droplineneu for a long time till I switched to nuovext. I really like it.

My current favorite theme uses the following components from gnomelook.org (I like blue):

Controls.... GTK2-Glossy_P
Cursors..... Blueglass-xcursors-3D
gdm theme... Relaxing-water
icons........... nuovext
splash theme... water_splash_2_rounded
window borders... Alphacube-metacity
Firefox theme... firefox 3 linux 1.1
desktop image is splash... http://www.desktopexchange.com/gallery/albums/3D_widescreen_wallpaper/3D_splash.jpg

fonts settings:
Application font...... dejavu sans condensed oblique 11
document font....... dejavu sans condensed 12
Desktop font......... dejavu sans oblique 10
window title font.... dejavu sans bold oblique 12
fixed width font..... monospace bold 12

I also do a few tweaks with compiz to enhance some of my drop shadows and change some transpanencies of menus and dropdowns and turn on a few of the eye candy things. I also uncheck expand on the top panel to make it shrink to the center of the top of the screen.

I played around a lot to get it to look the way I like. That's the beauty of linux, make it your own.
