There seem to be plenty of default post icons re-saved or matted for dark backgrounds. What I decided to do was re-create the default theme as PNGs optimized for any color background.
If you're currently using default Post Icons, and you'd like to replace them with my Post Icons, don't delete any of your Post Icons just yet.
First, upload these Post Icons to your icons folder.
Second, go into your Admin CP >>> Post Icons >>> Post Icon Manager, then select the category you keep your default Post Icons in. For each Post Icon, click Edit and change each instance of .gif to .png.
WHY? Well, what will happen is if you delete Post Icons that are currently in use, you'll end up with broken images (Internet Explorer) all over the forum or no images at all (FireFox) where Post Icons once were. Post Icons use ID number just like everything else on your forum. So changing the URL of each Post Icon will retain each instance where their ID was used. Deleting them, will only mean anything new added will obtain new ID numbers. (NOTE: Feel free to delete the GIFs from your directory in your FTP at any time. Where you don't want to delete anything is in your Admin CP.)
