Comment 2 for bug 379641

Yeah sorry about that. apologies to the person who made the icons. They are attractive, and the tango scheme is great. But some of them are less USEFUL. So while they look good overall, and have a more consistent approach, I don't think they're actually helping the user get the job done.

Also - not really sure it's a great idea to have such a radically different set of icons for linux / windows / macos users... If we want the user experience to be the same across all platforms then that approach would seem counter-intuitive.

As for helping make the icons better... what about applying the tango colours and design spec to the existing icons? Rather than having completely different ones?

You say there are problems with the existing set too... what are those problems.
Has this been discussed somewhere I can review the history?

I would think it would be better to have the same icons across all platforms. Not a different set for linux. I don't understand why having different icons for linux is an advantage? Perhaps someone could explain that?
