We will ask Wireframe to develop some small icons to supplement our already bland ones. I'd prefer we shipped with something more exciting out of the box rather than expect people to download them.
Screenshot with KT3 using the Tango icon theme
Tango is distributed under the Creative Commons licence and thus we can't ship with them.
Let's see what we can do on our own steam. We really can't include the "add" entries for these two directly on the page.
What does need to be clearer, however, is the iconography, so I'm marking this as a duplicate of the icon-issue. Could we please use the icons you found and modify accordingly?
I have linked this issue to the other issue about common file formats - can we use KT 2.x icons for this? I've now integrated the "Silk" icon set (a CC Attribution licensed icon set from http://www.famfamfam.com/). This now looks _much_ better.

Icons for folders and documents in the browse view too similar
- almost all the icons we are using in KnowledgeTree would be classified as "programmer art", since we don't have any real pretty-makers on the team. Any community involvement in the regard would be superb.
- realising this, we are compatible with standard "icon-themes" from the Open Source world (for example, the icons available from the Tango Project (http://tango-project.org/) work out-the-box with KT3, and look very good). We need to do a better job of explaining this and recommending that people install an improved default-icon set.
The advantage of this approach is that people can make KT's iconography fit with whatever their other applications use (e.g. Windows, OS X, Linux) and that distributors (e.g. Ubuntu) can very easily re-use the standard look-and-feel of their Desktop installations with KT3.
