 In SUSE 10.2, all the Yast icons were beautyful, now they all became ugly.

 Why is that?

That was discussed on the factory list.

Quoting Andreas:
YaST has the Tango icons - this is a feature.  If you want the old
icons, please use the opensuse-Crystal yast theme,
and
Tango icons in general fit much better to KDE4 than the crystal ones -
and we would like to maintain only one icon set,

While I fully understand (and support) the need to reduce maintenance
overhead well... my very low opinions of Gnome and the Tango icon
set are better left unsaid... especially that annoying and broken file
picker thing that GTK based apps use (eg Firefox).  Sigh

Please make it at least selectable, as those ugly icons have good
chances for me to stop using SUSE at all.

They are so ugly...

You can use the Crystal ones if you want.

I agree though.. I am one of the majority that finds Gnome in general
(along with its cartoon icons) to be an ugly and hopelessly useless
window manager.  I have to use it every day at work... and it's plain
vanilla ugly... and awful.. the Gnome application inconsistencies
annoy me the most... (eg middle click paste works correctly in some
GTK aps and not in others, but _always_ works correctly in QT apps)  I
live with it though because I am fortunate enough to be able to work
in a non-Windows environment :-)
