Hi.
While I still don't see any immediate need for high res, we did start
playing around with the uber-detailed style for gnome icon theme [1].
There is nothing stopping you from providing highly detailed artwork for
large canvases without diverging from the tango style. We don't have any

Hey Nick and all others.
Unfortunately this is only a mockup. I'm not quite into GTK hacking, so
