Human was made for Dapper, and that's why it's in. But Edgy is different, and if we figure out that Tangerine looks better with what we make, we'll surely be able to get it to become the next default set.

Tangerine is available, and is the default icon theme for at least one of the new metathemes :) The good thing about the Tangerine development was that we can now start sending stuff upstream to GNOME and the developers behind the different applications that have been fixed up. This can't be done with Human, so making stuff original is not always a good thing. Anyway, it's been a fun ride and I hope to be able to pick up the discussion on icons after Dapper has been released. But fow, Mark has made his choice this time and after all, it's his distro. - Andreas -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

This can't be done with Human, so Can you explain that please? :) As GNOME follows the same guidelines as Tangerine does, when we in the ubuntu-art team has made new icons for stuff like log-viewer, the gst-tools, gnome-applets and various other applications we have at the same time made a great attribution to the artwork in the GNOME project. Now as things have settled down with Dapper we can start sending those things off to the developers behind those modules in GNOME and share the love from ubuntu to the rest of the community. - Andreas -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Now it looks much better. They've done a great work indeed. i'd say it's 90% there for sure - it does look great. that said there are still many 'alien' icons in the set that do add some noise to the artwork overall (laptop AC/bat icon and 'support' icons for instance). similarly panel icon placement is obviously a bit poor (look at the logout button for instance, it's not 'centered' - a pixel or two away from the top of the panel). considering where Ubuntu was 6 weeks ago however, it's a gigantic improvement. congrats all! julian El vie, 26-05-2006 a las 11:18 +0200, Michiel Sikma escribi?: Op 26-mei-2006, om 11:05 heeft Who het volgende geschreven: I think it is a shame (well, actually, I only really dislike the folders), but I also think that getting someone to develop an entire icon theme from scratch, with the sole intention of it being the Dapper theme and then abandoning it 4 days before release would be unproductive and harsh!

[ubuntu-art] Human or Tangerine for Dapper by default?
It seems Dapper still comes with the ugly Human icons by default instead of the much more streamlined Tangerine set. Which is the one that will be in Dapper by default at the end?. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

So, it is obvious they are not ugly and many people like them. It's certainly not enough of a difference to justify switching to Tangerine, IMO. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
