The (useless) little orange emblems in Nautilus are the primary reason I use the Tango icons instead of Ubuntu's default Human ones.[0] Up until Dapper (was it Dapper?) Human had nice Tango-styled Emblem icons, with different shapes, an actual palette of different colours, and all that. Then the little orange blobs arrived, and I haven't used Human since, personally. There's been a number of discussions on this list about the uselessness of the little orange Nautilus blobs - check the mailing list archives - but the things keep re-appearing in each release of Ubuntu. For Hardy, can we please kill off the little orange blobs? Brian wirelizard.ca ubuntu-ca.org [0]Not that Tango is perfect, either - OpenOffice's Tango icons are massive and cartoonish - Human icons look far nicer in OOo. But I use Nautilus far more than OOo, so Tango stays... -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Re: [ubuntu-art] A small suggestion
On 6/15/06, Cyphase <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hey everyone,This is my first email to the art list, although I've been subscribedfor a while..I was thinking that in Edgy, there should be icons for different typesof directories, e.g. a Music directory icon, a Photos directory icon, etc. Also, maybe the ~/Desktop directory should have the "Desktop"emblem as it's icon instead of as an emblem, like it is in the Placesmenu. Just a random idea I thought I'd throw out there. These exist already, at least in Gnome's Nautilus file manager.Right-click on any file or directory, select Properties, then select the Emblems tab. You can have a least four emblems per file/directory - one per corner - and possibly more, if you're crazed enough. I've no idea if KDE or XFCE do anything like this - KDE's Konqeror might; I don't think XFCE's Thunar does.Brian/Madpilot -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Then something might get done. Having an art team entry in Launchpad is useful for bug reporting, if nothing else. The wiki is far more flexible for displaying draft artwork, brainstorming, and all the other stuff that goes on there. I'm still wondering why we suddenly have two art team entries in LP now, though. I haven't bothered joining the second new one - as Dennis said, let's get the original entry sorted out instead...LP has been very slow the last day or so, but it's not normally any slower than any other big website.
