Tango Artwork

[Michael Monreal]

Currently, the network-manager applet uses Bluecurve artwork from Redhat. This doesn't fit other themes. I therefore propose to replace the currently shipped artwork with Tango artwork. You can have a look here:

http://jimmac.musichall.cz/i.php?i=NetworkManager

If there is interest to replace the artwork, I could provide a tar archive with the needed icons in the right size and the right names.

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

Please do.

Ok, attached is a tarball with all the icons that ship with network-manager-gnome changed to the nice Tango icons. Just replace the current icons with those. Hope this will make it into dapper.

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

As I understand it, these icons should be shipped in the tango-icon-theme package.

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

And Orange-ified ones should be shipped in the tangerine-icon-theme package.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Lapo discussed a tango/tangerine supplementary package that ships stuff like apps icons. Now that xubuntu uses tango and tangerine could make use of those icons, maybe that's the solution we're looking for.

[Lapo Calamandrei (calamandrei)]

Daniel, the jimmac ones should go in tango-icon-theme-common, I'll try to recolor them for tangerine

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Is this still needed?

[Lapo Calamandrei (calamandrei)]

somewhat the current upstream network-manager do not fully use jimmacs artworks, I believe jimmac's work is a lot better then what we currently have, and a tengerine version would be cool, thoughts?

[Kenneth Wimer (kwwii)]

Sounds like a great idea to me

Could we please replace the icons in /usr/share/icons/hicolor with the ones Michael provided? They just look much better.

"Daniel, the jimmac ones should go in tango-icon-theme-common"

I agree. Any chance to see it before Gutsy is out?

Putting them into tango-icon-theme-common doesn't help people who don't use a tango-based theme like the default gnome theme. All the other distributions just patch the network manager applet package to ship this icon set instead of the ugly fedora icons... Please, fix this for gusty!

[Kenneth Wimer (kwwii)]

That would, however, break the inheritance of icon themes. As they are tango icons they belong in tango and not with the app itself.

[Michael Monreal (mimox)]

Wrong!

1.) gnome-icon-theme also follows tango guidelines

2.) network manager installs it's current set of icons to hicolor/, and that is where those tango icons should be put instead. This way, all themes can inherit the tango icons. I don't really know why this is not being done upstream, but perhaps RedHat doesn't want those icons in SVN. Anyway, for themes like GNOME, Tango, Tangerine and Human, those icons would be a great improvement.

[David Prieto (frandavid100-gmail)]

Is there still a chance to ship Jimmac's icons? Ever?

[Andreas Nilsson (andreasn)]

Karl Lattimer filled some of the gaps [1], so I hope this can go into 2.26.

This bug is over three years old. Now the latest Ubuntu version ist 12.04 LTS. In Ubuntu 12.04 LTS the Network Manager artwork perfectly fits into the whole desktop. Can we close this bug?
