I was scrolling through the forums earlier, and I found this screen shot.

Now my question isnt about the visual style, or which icons the guy is using.. i was just unsure of a way to change all the icons of the same type for example. If I wanted to change every album icon on my computer would there be a way to do it in one foul swoop?

you can use stardocks iconpackager, do it manually i.e. using iconphile or goto folderoptions -> filetypes.
there's alot of possibilities. you just need to tell us how much time you wanna spend on doing it

edit: all the icons are default unless you mean the startmenu icons. it's teh ganticons from mattahan. get them here: http://mattahan.deviantart.com

There are many different "mass" icon changers. Stardocks' IconPackager is the most widely used and most widely used. It's also not free.

ideally i would like to do it as quickly as posible. and IconPackager isnt an option due to the fact that ive wasted my trial period and dont want to purchase it.

well afaik there's no gant theme/iconpack. so you hafto change the icons manually.
