Also, Tango has good base for helping choosing a good color. http://
tango-project.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines . Those guys rox. They
did a great work. We MUST base our artwork on those good Guidelines.
We can't follow the Tango guidelines completely. Realise that the Tango
Desktop Project aims to bring a consistent look to the Linux desktop,
emphasis on the 'a'. It will not be the only, I certainly hope not.
The Tango icon set is the first icon set to use the freedesktop.org icon
naming specificiation and I hope that other icon sets in the future will
adhere to this standard as well. This should not however extend
necessarily to the guidelines on other icon sets. That is what makes
them different. Tangerine does not need to adhere completely to the
Tango guidelines, just like Human and Blue Curve do not.
Um, yes tangerine does actually adhere to the tango style guidelines
completely. Tangerine takes all the colors from the tango palette, has
the correct inner and outer stroke etc. and all the other stuff outlined
in the style guide (and therefore makes it blend in well with other
icons using the guidelines, yay!). There is nowhere in the tango
guidelines that say that all icons must be blue and that they can't be
brown, tangerine-icon-theme just makes more use of the orange and
chocolate shades, while tango-icon-theme has made more use of sky blue
and chameleon colors. [1]
But yes, you are correct that tango-icon-theme is just a icon set using
both the naming-spec and the style guide.
