Making the art greyscale is a matter of running: `mogrify -colorspace gray *png`
This is not the optimal approach. An exact greyscale conversion such as this loses many details of color contrast. For example a smooth Red->Blue gradient will be a solid white area. There are algorithms to convert to greyscale with different grey values for each original color channel, these should be investigated before a wholesale conversion is done. As to Tango itself... Just because one group decided to put out some "standard" icons doesnt mean everyone should use them. I am ambivalent to the issue, considering nice SVG icons to be a plus, but also considering small sharp icons handy especially when working on embedded platforms. And Tango's icons in particular do not appeal (or dis-appeal) to me. We can do better. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
