   * Yep, that's how software development works. This is an open process where you see what happens as it happens. This is not a black box process, such as where someone would pull a brand new icon theme out of his hat unanounced. Heck, we probably don't all ''own'' hats! Besides, what ''is'' wrong with the Tango guideline? People have worked their asses off getting it applied desktop-wide, and now you want that process restarted when it's nearing completion? -- DylanMccall [[DateTime(2008-05-19T16:07:54Z)]]    * Yep, that's how software development works.

LiveCD Icon Review

Here is a review of the icons on the livecd, ie. the one's that need to be changed & fixed by the time Intrepid comes around.

Concept

1) System > Preferences > PalmOS Devices

The icon is too blurry, it looks terribly outdated, your eye is immediately drawn to it due to it's incompatibility. It needs to be changed.

By using changing the icon of gnome-palm to the icon below,

(from the Gnome Icon Theme, under GPL - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:PDA.svg)

Comments

Please feel free to leave comments, there will be more icons coming soon

  • So I take it that because there are not calls for a complete redesign of the icons, that Intrepid will just be a continued slow progress of the current theme that makes our OS look like a toy?

  • Whoa, calm down. What I am saying is that by the time Intrepid comes around, with the new icon theme etc, this also needs to be fixed, as it has remained like this for around 3 years! -/- Rugby471
