Please see Gmail *2* small attachment icons by Moktoipas and Gmail - attachment icon replacer by USBman for where this came from as it is simply a combination of the two (i.e., borrowed code). The aim was really to update the latter for the new Gmail interface. Whether you use Windows, Mac, or Linux...this should display the attachment icons native to your system. Hopefully it works for you like it does for me!!
EDIT: As someone noted in the comments below, this may not work with the Better Gmail 2 extension for Firefox. I haven't gotten a chance see this problem first-hand, but just note that it may be a problem.
Install options
- Install Stylish for Firefox, Thunderbird, Flock, Mozilla Suite, SeaMonkey, or Songbird. If you have Stylish already, make sure you're using the latest version and have JavaScript enabled.
- You need Firefox to use this style. Get , then Install Stylish, then come back here to install this style.
- - load into the Stylish extension where you can preview and save it.
- - this style has been updated since you installed it in Stylish.
- - Greasemonkey and Opera users can load this style as a user script.

This doesn't work for me :(
I have the "Better GMail 2" extension installed in Firefox, and it offers (crappier) attachment icons. I turned these off, but it looks like it's still over-riding it. A LOT of people use that, so perhaps you want to figure out how to make it compatible!!

Excellent script. I like to use Gmail a lot, but it's been difficult to keep the aesthetic cohesive with the rest of my system. Works well with my Ubuntu distribution.
