The task for Tango-Friday this week is a bit of a challenge. We’re going to update the whole gtk+ stock icon set in one day. Yes, that is 193 icons, and we’re not going to stop until we are done.
We gather in #tango on freenode.net.
Artists, are you up to the challenge?
OMG I DIE!
This is gonna rock. Thanks!
I’d like to help…
I have never made an icon in Tang style so maybe i cannot help now.. but where can i start to learn and how to collaborate???
thanks!!!
yay. at last we can kill off some of those old GTK icons!
alejo: pop by #tango on freenode.net and we’ll give you a hand.
What I really dislike is the licence question… Why must we redraw icons,we already made for gnome
What a pity to loose time and energy…
good luck guys! your hard work is extremely appreciated!
Yeah ! You guys rock ! Let’s get rid of the crappiest ones first (specially GTK_STOCK_CONNECT and GTK_STOCK_DISCONNECT) !
193 icons in a day… hope you guys succeed. This will be tough.
At last, my biggest gripe with Gnome has found a resolve, new YES and NO icons!!! The original authors clearly had a bit of a creativity block when they created the original ones.
Antoine: simple answer: I suppose you still own copyright on the icons you made before? If so, just relicence them!
[...] It is hell of a challenge to re-create all 193 stock icons for GTK+ toolkit, but I am joining the quest to do it! [...]
Awesome, good luck!
And let’s get rid of gtk-yes and gtk-no!
I would appreciate an url icon or something web related. I’ll try to be there this friday, at least I can try to help!.
It’ll surely make things more beautiful and consistent. We see them a lot of times everyday, so, new icons would be more than welcome, specially the “ok” and “cancel” ones. But they are not in Tango Fridays page… why?
Good luck with this marathon
YES! KILL GTK_STOCK_CLOSE PLEASE!
It’s the worst icon ever. I wish its original author was dead.
good luck & godspeed
I would like to help, but I do not have the skills of an artist. I can’t wait for the results!
Anonymous: Uh, I don’t like the icon either, but dammit, I don’t wish death upon either jimmac or tigert.
“specially the “ok” and “cancel” ones. But they are not in Tango Fridays page… why?”
Yeah, why I wonder?
193? I only see 98. And of these a number has already been tango-fied, e.g. gtk-underline, gtk-bold, and so on.
Here’s a small Python script that lets you look at your GTK stock icons:

Just a comment to say that some people (at least me) really like the current gtk icons, I find they have warmer colors than most (all ?) other icons set.
But good luck anyway to replace them, it seems a lot of people don’t like them, and I’m sure there will be an old-style icon theme with my favorites icons
What exactly is wrong with the current set of icons?
way to grey and dull.

Everyone did a *über great great great great* job, it was amazing. I’ve not done a lot of work but I had fun making the icons I’ve made

Tigert made excellent icons too

Holy s… amazing work guys.
Just one question, there are some icons that are already on GNOME and Tango icon themes like the arrows (up, down, left, top, etc) why did you changed the style?
Woo! Awesome news! I love the Tango icons, and now gtk
! Pure Bliss

[...] La sfida era di quelle impossibili, ma alla fine i prodi ce l’hanno fatta. Gli sviluppatori di Tango avevano annunciato un face lifting delle 193 icone in un solo giorno. [...]
Will it be possible to use some sort of patch so I can rebuild gtk 2.10.11 to use the tango icons?
When are they going to be available to developers/users?
Awww… I can’t wait!
So are they done yet?
Motorcycle Guy: they are in gtk+ trunk now, so they will be included in the next stable version!

[...] No, non stiamo parlando di un’estenuante gara di ballo, ma di un’estenuante sforzo comunitario per aggiornare e ammodernare un set di icone libere per desktop e Software Liberi. Lo scorso weekend gli sviluppatori del Tango Desktop Project insieme a tutti i volontari che si sono uniti, si sono dati appuntamento per rivedere tutte le 193 icone di Gtk+, in un giorno. Alla fine ne hanno create 199. Niente male nè dal punto di vista della produttività, nè di quello più importante della qualità! Posted in Occhio sul mondo | [...]
