In a lot of windowmaker screenshots, I always see such charming, old looking icons as well as gtk themes, I assume a lot of these are just old enough to be using the original gtk 1/2 themes

I'd like to find some gtk/qt themes that can help me re-capture this look on windowmaker and the linux desktop once again, so my request is ....

Do you have old, neat and forgive me for saying this word.. "retro" looking icon sets for windowmaker? 
Would you share them with me please? 

Do you have classic gtk/qt themes that make gtk apps better mesh with WM? 
If so, would you mind sharing them here? 

Thanks! Sorry i've made so many threads in a short while, I just love windowmaker so much

Right now I am using icons taken from Solaris 10's CDE as well as the MaXX Desktop environment and the latter fit quite well.

I believe the WM live distro has some retro gtk themes. It might be
worth looking there:

I got quite a few resources from that distro, unfortunately the awesome gtk theme they use doesnt seem to be quite so portable. And I cannot find it anywhere, oh well.
