[Bug 61986] Re: tango icon set

[David Prieto]

Hi richard, and thanks for your reply. I'm afraid I can't give a
solution to many of the issues you're raising, but others shoulb be
easily fixable.

"it's very important that you not replace the about box logo with
something that says "GAIM".

Copying the current logo.png to the new iconset folder would do the
job... I'm not sure if we would have to ask the creator for permission
to modiffy the theme, though.

"I don't think it's a good idea to replace the generic Jabber icon with
an icon clearly based on the Google Talk icon".

That caught my eye, too. There's an icon called jabber_bak wich could be
renamed to jabber, much more generic.

"The Yahoo icon is even less recognizable than the current one we have
in Gaim".

I have to disagree here, I did find it recognizable.

"The status ones incorporate the icon for a web browser, which is really
confusing".

You're right. The status icons should be able to be replaced by dialog
ones, they're actually visible when you browse your recent status,
watch:

I don't know how to replace them, though.

"the Gaim Cool icon has been replaced with something that indicates a
clear lack of understanding about what that icon is used for".

I'm not even sure what the Gaim Cool icon exactly is, so I might not be
the right person to discuss that.

"Regarding the second set... I like some of those better, but I'm not
going to detail it".

Both sets seem to go well with each other, would it be possible to take
the ones you like from the second and the right ones from the first and
create a hybrid set?

They don't go well with Gaim's current set tho, thay're much crispier
and it wouldn't be a good mix IMO.
