Let's vote for Dapper icon (Human vs Tango)

[mojo]

Okay, straight to main point, let me ask ppl out there, how do you want our beloved Dapper looks like? As we've known, Ubuntu is on the way developing Human icon theme. At the same time, project Tango is growing strong and fast too. A question is raised here, what icon set you want Dapper adopt? The Human icon set or a new Tango styled icon set? It's interesting to see the outcome...

Tango icon set ver 0.64:
Please note that ver 0.40 of Tango where the folder icon is grey with dotted Novell style has been deprecated . jimmac has decided to move to Blue folder icon. (I think the grey version will appear in future Novell Linux soon)



And yes, if u want the icon-theme, please download it at art.gnome.org

Note: We have an alternative, sgarrity and andreasn already make a ubuntu folder version:



So it's possible to have Tango + Ubuntu style, Mark can pay for a team to do so rite

Please see it at http://tango-project.org/Tango_Icon_Gallery

Out of these 2 choices I'd go with Human.
Tango is just to cold when You look at it.

I think both choices look very nice. I'm going to skip the vote this time because my themes, backgrounds, and icons change very often. Both options seem to be quite well done and I would be likely to add the both to my rotation of commonly used sets, but I don't think my whimsical flights of icon-changing fancy should be allowed to influence the default for everyone--especially since I would be likely to choose one today, regret it tomorrow, be back to it the next day and so on.

Anyway, all that to day they both fit into the "winner" category for me.

I'd have to say I marginally prefer Human - but I agree they are both good. What's the story behind the deveopment of Tango?

i like the way gnome icons look in ubuntu. They look like soap bars or erasers to me, its very caracteristic of open source, somehow i feel like they give the Os its own identity. beautifull shadows. i wish all those icons in dapper will look like a more polished version of the gaim or the default firefox icon.

By the way, icon-naming-utils (perl script) provided by Tango team is entered in Dapper Drake. Tango's iconset has been realeased too in his last version (0.4).

I've personally no preference about default Ubuntu's iconset, I just hope it will respect Freedesktop's recommandations.

i definately like the human theme better because the tango theme has no color to it. the human theme makes it somewhat colorful.

[XDevHald]

Deffinently the Human, very smooth and easy to flow with during work time.

I like both, but I choosed Tango... i like the Trash icon.. LOL...

If I had to choose between these two, I'd say Human.

I'm not fond of the Tango way of showing all drives and devices as "3d boxes".
