GDM theme and icons

[s michel]

Regarding Tango, I can imagine a circumstance were a networked group of computers at a location needed to have a consistent look and design to facilitate training and ease of use. 
But I think that familiar cross-platform apps like Firefox or Ooo  should keep their branding design to avoid the problem outlined above. From a design persepective, icons have a relativly small visual impact compared to windowing elements and colors. If anything, icons would most often be associated with the apps they represent rather than the OS or distro. It would make sense to have distinct icons, for system tools that are part of Xfce.

Steve

This is good to know. If it is done, one thing I'd like to see is 
Firefox patched to obey your default icon theme, and any other 
programs that don't by default. It would be great if Xubuntu has a 
genuinely consistent desktop. Maybe Gaim could even use the Tango 
emotion icons?

Thanks for everyones comments on this,
Trevor.
