It's based mostly on the fact, that to me it seems that while tango! focuses more on readability, clarity, usability and simplicity, oxygen seems to aim to look more realistic and shiny, while Echo is somewhere in between, but with slightly different perspective. And yeah, I saw the highres experiments, they look really great, can't wait for high-dpi screens :) Btw. is the status page at freedesktop [1] actual for oxygen icons or is there some more fresh source (I might be comparing outdated versions...)? > And yeah, I would be rather happy if Livio's flames calmed down a bit > too and really hope it haven't put the tango-project in a bad light. :/ Certainly not for me. What Livio presents are his opinions and I do not connect it in anyway to the tango! project (save for accepting the fact he likes it which is not a bad thing at all). > >> Some apps are using hardcoded pixmaps, but better are tangoish, than > >> old-GNOME-1.x. > >> > >> > > Hard-coded pixmaps are bad, if you keep fillings bugs about those, the > > situation might improve for all the people trying to make their own icon > > themes (and guessing from look at gnome-look.org there are a lot of > > them). > > > It's also mega-important for HighContrast where the interface will be > quite useless if hardcoded. > Yeah, I totally agree. > 1. http://jimmac.musichall.cz/i.php?i=Highres > 2. http://jimmac.musichall.cz/i.php?i=Tango-NG > - Andreas > References: [1] http://people.freedesktop.org/~jimmac/icons/ Martin
