New UI (I can help)

Hi!

First of all I would like to say that I really like qbittorent, it does everything that I want... but I can't stand the icon pack for windows.
It would be really nice to see some "improvement" into that area or maybe this is just me bitching around...
As a graphic designer I think I could help. Having some experience in design I could make a new set of icons for qbittorent along with an idea that I have for a new retouched logo.
If any moderator is interteresting he can come in touch with me.

If you guys don't like the idea... is there anyway to do the change just for me?
I mean, where are the icons? I 've looked into %appdata%/qbittorent or program files/qbittorent but I found nothing.
I suppose that they're inside the .exe. Is there anyway to modified it without messing with the stability of the client?

Yep, currently the images are embedded in "resource" files that are compiled with the executable

Not currently, and the way the "skin" is coded currently it doesn't lend itself to an easy or simple transition to being truly "skinnable" or 'user adjustable', I have been spending some time looking at it because the current status colouring is somewhat less than ideal for my eyesight. Grey on white and insipid orange on white might be "restful" to an eagle but it's a real pain to anyone with colour vision akin to a mouse. :)

Icons are inside .exe. If you want to view all icons included into .exe go to https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent. Press 'Download ZIP' button on the right. Icons located in qBittorrent-master/src/Icons folder in the archive.

Also you can start an issue here.
