Ok, fixed in tango cvs now (thanks jimmac!). I must admit that I never
quite liked the tone in your complains about the shadows, but anyway,
now it's fixed.
We're planning on moving over to svg-filters for the shadows once they
are properly implented in Inkscape and when librsvg (almost there) and
ksvg2 renders them perfectly. AndyFitz actually made it working by
inserting a class into a svg file by hand, so it's not that far away. I
really own that man a beer.
Will take care of the shadows in Tangerine sometime this weekend.
Take care!

I'm happy to see improvement! Might want to consider another important
aspect in icons. Perspective. With the gradients in Tango and
Tangerine, it's obvious they are not intented to be 2d/flat icons.
Adding the perspective element to the shadows has everything to do
with not ending up with icons in between 2d/flat and 3d/life and
therefore unprofessional.
Open them in tabs and click between them.

-Folder shadow angles in the direction the folder is facing
-Computer icon has a shadow that is consistent with the folder
-script icon has a diamond with a shadow that places it infront,
making it complete.
-exec icons on the desktop have a diamond shadow laying down behind it
(seem I over did it a little) What is round about a diamond?
-toolbar icons (old) are standing up instead of having a haze around
half of them.
Nice.
Where can I get hold of the svg's?
