[Bug 61176] Re: Inconsistent use of Icons

[Michael Monreal]

I'm a big fan of the tango project, I really like the guidelines and the
resulting icons. Tango icon theme is really nice, so was Tangerine. And
the new Gnome icon theme is even better. So I'm all for getting more of
the deskop tangofied.

BUT: I never understood why tango was used as a fallback for human, the
two styles doen't fit each other. Ubuntu having it's own visual
identity, blah blah... yeah I can understand that but the Human theme is
miles behind both tango-icon-theme and gnome-icon-theme... and it's not
following the tango guidlines. Do you really plan to do Human icons for
all those apps which have tango themes right now like (as travis
mentioned) Gimp or OOo?

IMHO Ubuntu would do best with the following: reuse Human again for edgy
but drop it after that release in favour of a small add-on icon theme
which inherits most icosn from the default gnome theme. This way ubuntu
could get its identity (color of folders etc) but still fit with the
majority of upstream artwork.
