   * Well other distros seem to be a bit better about having updated icons and such. Tango is not what we use, but we use its guidelines. They are good guidelines, but we need something more professional and something not so cartoonish and almost silly looking. Itrepid is supposed to be a complete redesign; I vote for everything improved! -- Acelin [[DateTime(2008-05-26T05:59:48Z)]]

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The icon is too blurry, it looks terribly outdated, your eye is immediately drawn to it due to it's incompatibility.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

it looks a lot better

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?
    • 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 folks are already wanting that process restarted when it's finally nearing completion? -- DylanMccall DateTime(2008-05-19T16:07:54Z)

  • 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
