Hi. While I still don't see any immediate need for high res, we did start playing around with the uber-detailed style for gnome icon theme [1].
There is nothing stopping you from providing highly detailed artwork for large canvases without diverging from the tango style. We don't have any guidelines for the high res as it will take a bit of iterations to get the style right, but don't consider 48x48px to be a dead end for Tango. The current problem is getting consistent icon set across dozens of free applications, and this is largely a 24x24/22x22 pixel land still. The Oxygen set has recently been improving in low res area and the style isn't far off from tango in fact[2]. I am pretty confident that creating an Ubuntu base set that follows the tango guidelines, provides high-res art will work rather well in KDE4 too. cheers [1] http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=users/jimmac/git-highres.git;a=summary [2] http://people.freedesktop.org/~jimmac/icons/#oxygen On Wed, 2007-11-07 at 13:12 -0500, Corey Woodworth wrote: > I agree about Tango.

We'd mostly just have to make gnome application icons. -- Jakub Steiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Novell, Inc. -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
