[Bug 60424] Re: GTK default icons used in several places

[Mika Fischer]

These are all valid points. What I care about is what the final release will look like. I think after all the effort that's being put into the artwork to provide a consistent-looking release, it would really ruin the whole thing if edgy were to ship with those ugly icons. I mean the OK-icon (stupid as it may be) before was also a green checkmark only a nicer one that *fit* to the rest of the icons. Why did it have to go?
I'm sure an equally nice Cancel icon can be provided if the yellow "go-back" cancel button is the problem.

I also really don't think that forcing ugly icons on people is the right
way to get them to change their dialogs. That will take a long time and
might not even be possible at all. For instance all my wxWidgets apps
use OK and Cancel buttons for all simple dialogs, not because I chose to
do it this way but because wxWidgets does this by default.

I think people ar not going to say: "Gee, that does look ugly, the app
is broken, let's file a bug report!", they're going to say, "Well, my
apps really look ugly and inconsistent on Ubuntu"...

So don't get me wrong, I'm all for doing it the Right Way(TM), but at
the same time I think edgy should release with a consistent icon theme.

And thanks for your efforts!
