I got sick of the ugly non-anti-aliased font in Ventrilo, as well as the 2 color icons.
I made two executables that you replace the old one with. The first one uses MS SHELL DLG font which XP should have. This will let you use ClearType anti-aliasing with it. The second one uses the SEGOE UI font that Vista has. Personally, the Vista font looks a lot nicer to me.

Download for Vista Download the new icons
These icons replace the default icons. To replace the icons, open up Ventrilo and right click anywhere in the main window. Choose:
View ->
Working directory...
This should pop open an explorer window. Extract the zip file into the icons directory in this window.
You'll need to restart Ventrilo for the changes to take effect.
The icons look nicer than the default icons, but they are still kind of bland. The problem is that they can only be 16x16 in 16 colors. This severely limits how nice they can look.
