    Tango) icons will be default in Gnome 2.16, they were supposed to get into 2.14 but they aren't complete yet. As for window drawing technologies - I'm using Xgl on my desktop right now and I'm in love with it. I think I'm going to marry Xgl. :)

    Yeah there really are some great artists out there contributing to make GNOME (and Linux in general) look great.

    See the Tango Desktop Project for some really interesting and nice-looking stuff.

  4. Apparently, they're great for open source projects by soren42 · · Score: 2, Insightful · on Other Uses for Wiki Software?

    Wiki technology must be great for open source project pages, or at least Novell thinks so... As best I can count, they have eight (or more) projects set up that either they manage, contribute to, or support using MediaWiki.

    These are:
    Mind you, these are all great sites, with good content. They seem to really be embracing the notion of community-driven projects, to the point of not only accepting community code, but also accepting additional community support though the use of Wiki for the websites and documentation. Take a browse through these sites, if you have time - they are full of great ideas on how to use a wiki.

    Kudos to Novell for once again being innovative in open source. Give me even more hope for their future and for the success of SUSE Linux.
  5. Yet still we live with those depressing icons. by delire · · Score: 1 · on Dapper Drake Hits Ubuntu Servers


    Disappointing to see Dapper will still include those awful, tired (6 yrs?) old icons.

    Who really thinks of an old life-rescue ring when seeking help? When one wants to engage with an office productivity suite, do we think of an old typewriter? Scissors and Right Angle rule for 'Accessories'?? Nostalgia aside, it's time Ubuntu revisited 'polish' within a contemporary and aesthetic context.

    Placement of icons are also still ugly: look at the 'help' and WWW icons in the menubar of this screenshot: they are several pixels closer to the top of the bar than the base. The icon in the middle is faded out to the point of being a waterstain. Why not replace those menubar icons with words and do away with these bizarre, misplaced symbols. Better still, why not draw upon the abilities of those contributing to Art dot Gnome dot Org or better still, the Tango Project.

    Ancient. soggy icons that are poorly placed only impoverish the otherwise striking, and singular, visual field of Ubuntu as a whole.

  6. Indeed! by Grendel+Drago · · Score: 1 · on Shuttleworth's Commitment to Kubuntu and KDE

    Perhaps this is one of the things that the good fellas at freedesktop.org could do, being a nonpartisan standards development group. If as much as possible could be made desktop-independent, that would surely be good; features could be used by applications from either side of the fence, and maybe some kind of consistency would be possible.

    For instance, if one uses Tango icon themes (implementing a fd.o spec, the same icons can be found both by KDE and GNOME desktops and applications.

    'Course, that's just icons, but maybe it's possible to do that with themes.

    I see the icons and palette both have a lot of the SuSe puke green look. In fact the palette even labels those colors "chameleon".
