LucaDC, would you please explain why you prefer the current default better than the reworked (not the tango, the default refreshed)?
It's basically the same, with subtle changes in the palette and lots of fixes (the default has aliased borders, bad aligned icons, etc.)

manzur: beauty shouldn't worth as usability. If something is usable and beautiful, ok. But beautiful things shouldn't be chosen over usable ones. I can't agree here.
I'm a designer, I suppose to make things prettier and attractive, but I think that beauty in UIs is just make up. They have to work well first.
I don't think is a valid argument to say "hey, it's 2009, people buys beauty so give them beauty".
I love Tango icons because they are systematized, coherent and have pretty solid design guidelines. That makes them pretty, not a mere aesthetic matter.
