I think you here, like others often do, are missing the point of the style guidelines entirely. Look at gnome-icon-theme HEAD, and compare it to Tango. You'll see the icons are all pretty much still different, but they don't have horribly conflicting styles. Personally, I would much rather avoid maintaining multiple icon themes with different licensing schemes. And I'm sure that the artists would also like to avoid maintaining them, for the licensing reasons, as well as having to maintaing multiple versions of the same icon for different themes. I don't think we should just push to supplant gnome-icon-theme with the Tango theme. At least, not yet. Keeping gnome-icon-theme around is a good point to tilt gnome in the direction of the naming spec, and get the applications migrated. Maybe if we're migrated well enough that we can get rid of the need for symlinks, by say, 2.16, we can perhaps then propose to just use the Tango theme for 2.18. I imagine there are still licensing issues involved though. People do not seem to be taking well to the fact that the Tango theme is CC-By-SA. -- dobey _______________________________________________ gnome-themes-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-themes-list
