I wish, but no. Jakub is updating several of the icons to have a more modern look, by applying elements from the Tango Style Guide, to the gnome-icon-theme style icons. I've explicitly instructed him to keep the gnome and tango icons different. There are several reasons for this. There are licensing differences between Tango and g-i-t. We are trying very hard to get people from KDE and other desktops interested as well, and simply putting Tango icons in would only back up their arguments that it is heavily GNOME based. However, simply applying some of the bits of the Tango Style Guide, such as the lighter inner hint, palette choices, and the like, can improve the icons on one's desktop quite a bit. Andreas, who has been helping out with the Tango icons, and has helped out previously with GNOME icons, has even redrawn a couple of KDE icons, using the Tango Style Guide. Needless to say, they look amazing. But, if everyone thinks he should not update the GNOME icons, I'm sure we can revert back to the old, drab, incomplete, and unmaintained style. Frankly, I'm all for keeping my artist happy, though. -- dobey _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
