To follow up my latest post, (that actually made it to the digg and all).
So, it appears we actually managed to fix the entire gtk+ stock set in one single day. Quite amazing and a big thank for everyone who was part of this crazy event. Yes, that is you Steven Garrity, Tuomas Kuosmanen, Jakub Steiner, Lapo Calamandrei, Josef Vybiral, Hylke Bons, Charavel Olivier, Kalle Persson and David Prieto!
From one of the digg comments:
Plus the Tango artists are design monkeys on crack
When they say they’ll get em done, then they will be done well.
Design Monkeys on Crack, eh? Sounds like a new slogan!
These icons are really beutiful. Compared to these, the old ones loke like they are from just before the birth of Jesus Christ.
The old ones were easy to understand, but they really needed an update.
Awesome work guys as always and that slogan is good
Just brilliant, I love it!
Great work, I like the new look.
Now the obvious question: When and where can we get them. It seems they are not yet in the fd.o cvs.
[...] Teraz trzeba tylko poczekać na włączenie tego do oficjalnych wydań gtk+. Więcej o akcji możecie przeczytać na blogach Tigerta, Jimmaca i Andreasa Nilssona. [...]
Speechless, crying in excitement, no words to describe the joy using a whole brand new gtk+ desktop.
How about making sure that Tango has all the icons needed by KDE?
Hello,
Great work! By the way, can you guys create a cool looking Tango Icon for GNU Emacs ? We don’t have a good icon yet and it’d be great to have one.
Thanks in advance.

I’m a newbie regarding Tango! and would like to use these in software/applications that I write. I think you guys have done a great job.
I would like to know if you guys are planning on making industry standard type icons. Examples:
jpg, gif, tiff, png, xml, xls, doc, ppt, open office stuff, etc.
Is there a way to create an icon that represents the MS Excel product without using their logo and or getting sued?

Are these wonderful icons already in gnome-icon-theme resp. gnome-icon-theme-extras?
Great work! Thanks for working!
And realy cool OK, Cancel icons!
Michael, Lars: we have temporarly put them in gnome-icon-theme-extras, look under temp/stock-icons. Hopefully we can get them into gtk+ trunk soon.
carl: please mail me at andreas at andreasn dot se and we can discuss this more in detail.
Seamus: it’s the great work of David Prieto, I’ll forward your comment to him next time I see him.
Please, tell me my you had to do them all over when you just could’ve used the existing icons from the Tango stock? Why make http://vybiral.info/mockup/gtk/24/gtk-go-down.svg when you already have http://tango.freedesktop.org/static/cvs/tango-icon-theme/scalable/actions/go-down.svg ? Confusing!
Lexor: different packages, different licenses.
In case you use tango-icon-theme the system will of course use the ones from t-i-t. This is mostly for the windows and osx platforms.
Incredible work. Incidentally, were these included in Ubuntu 7.04? It looks like they have been…
I apologize in advance for asking this question yet again but I was wondering where the GTK+ stock set is now located. I cannot find a ‘temp’ folder in gnome-icon-theme-extras at the Gnome.org SVN. I’d really like to use some of these great icons for some apps on the Windows platform so need the PNGs. Thanks!
They look super cool, by the way!
The landscape icon has wrong orientation, as in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347607.
Will these become the default icons in Tango also? (the arrows and such here are a million times better than those on the official tango site)
I really want to have a set of these for Ubuntu, and Firefox also.
Great job!
