Wicd - easy icon theme creation

Question

What is it?
It's a small bash script for easy creation of new wicd icon themes, because IMHO the original wicd icons are kinda ugly...
All it does, is the whole "give it the right name"-thing.
What is wicd?
Wicd is a nice networkmanager for wired and wireless connections
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/wicd/
http://wicd.sourceforge.net/
Instructions
* Create new folder
* Save the script right there
* Copy the files you want to use to the same directory (read on for a link with samples)
* Edit the DIR variable of the script and run it.
Changes?
* version 01
Initial upload, nothing special so far
* version 02
replaced $CP, $MKDIR, $ECHO with cp, mkdir, echo
wicd_iconset.sh
#!/bin/sh
# easy creation of wicd iconthemes
# version 02
# what it does:
# creates DIR
# copies files to DIR (WARNING: existing files in DIR will be overwritten)
# provides instructions how to use the new theme

Any advices or comments?
When it comes to bash scripting i'm a beginner, so please be gentle.

Answer 1

Handy.
Thanks for icons (or more precisely for the translation script), there are indeed much nicer.
One note: I had in my existing icons a no-signal.png that your script didn't create. Not a problem adding it, just thought I'd let you know.
