Public bug reported:
Ubuntu should move away from Tango, to a flat, monochromatic and sharper
icon set. The Tango icons have gradients adding an overhead of visual
complexity. The flat icons in the top Ubuntu panel look good, and ubuntu
must have similar icons across.
This seems to be an accepted modern trend, with even Windows 8 adopting
flat monochromatic icons for windows 8.
Such icons are visually clean and more obvious and hence less confusing.
Also in line with Ubuntu's goal to deliver on par performance on devices
of all form factors, I doubt how Tango will behave on small devices with
lower dpi and also on high dpi like the retina. Flat icons should be
much more consistent across all screens.
