[ubuntu-art] Icon theme suggestion
Hello! Lately I've been working on a Tango styled icon theme for Ubuntu under the name Discovery. I've posted it to my blog [1] and gnome-look.org [2] and got a lot of positive responses. It even got to the 5th highest rated icon theme on gnome-look in 3 days! Some suggested posting the theme here because Ubuntu is going for a makeover the next release, so... here it is. Please note that the theme is far from complete and still open to a lot of changes.

Its nice for a consistent look but as far as modern looking they don't make the cut. I'll let Ken chime in on this. -Cory. Fact is that Tango icons are shipped by many applications upstream, which gives us time to just fill in the Ubuntu specific gaps, and even more time to polish the Ubuntu desktop.

Cory K. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm not gonna debate this with you I'm simply telling you that the current word on the street is that the Ubuntu-Hardy icons will not look like Tango. That is a shame, after openSUSE and Fedora, it would only be one step away of having a unified free desktop style for The Big Three, without the need for a distro to lose it's own feel. Maybe this et isn't it, but it is quite possible to make some set with the Tango style guidelines and making it look Ubuntu and integrate with the rest.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Icon theme suggestion
I'm using it right now - only thing bugging me is the blue. Would be great if you could make an all-orange one. I don't think that's a very good idea usability wise, tough orange is still the dominant color in this theme. As has been mentioned before on this list: I think my biggest complaint about the look of Ubuntu's interface (the default GNOME, of course --- don't know about KDE, and sorry to be blunt, but could not care any less about KDE) is the unicolor-ism of the icons. Color is an incredibly powerful and efficient mechanism to convey information, and it is IMHO being sacrificed. --Carlos Hylke -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
