Increase visual integration with gnome

[David Prieto]

Binary package hint: transmission

Now that Transmission has been officially included, it would be good to keep a greater visual consistency with the rest of the included Gnome apps. One easy way to do so would be to use the system-wide icons for certain elements such as the ratio, upload, download and search bar. That would be easy and would result in a better-looking app.

Another thing to do would be using tango colours for the progress bars. You can find the Tango palette here: http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines

Here's a mockup of how Transmission would look using Tangerine icons.

Transmission already uses GTK stock icons where possible. Is it not the case on your system?

[David Prieto (frandavid100-gmail)]

No, as you can see in the attached screenshot the ratio, upload, download and search icons don't follow the system settings.

Don't forget the bar colours; more and more gnome apps are using the Tango palette, and Transmission bars look -to my eye- awfully out of place in a gnome desktop.

I'm using Transmission 1.01 on Gutsy and it seems to be using the system search icon, at least

Fixed on SVN.
Will be on 1.02.

Fixed: 1.02 is in hardy now.
