Yeah, I know. All bitmaps were from Wine itself (comctl32 etc).

Why not use icons from the tango project? As I mentioned recently in a thread we (if we contact them) should be able to use icons from their project. The icons look very nice and can make wine look a lot better. Personally I don't like the current icons.

I _love_ this idea, and icons look very nice, but here can be some legal troubles. The icons are under Creative Commons - Share Alike 2.5 license. I'm not a lawyer and not sure if using (probably modified) icons would be considered as "share alike" condition - they say "alter, transform or build upon", but probably authors intent was that icons must stay under CC Share-Alike license. See e.g. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/tango-artists/2006-September/000681.ht... . These "wars" between open source licenses make me sick.

That's great! Once they switch the license we definitely should use Tango.

You could still ask them to relicense the particular icons we need in the meantime. -- -Austin

I completely agree with that. It sounded to me like the relicensing could take a while. On irc it really sounded like they wanted to help us out. Roderick -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört? Der kann`s mit allen: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/multimessenger

Roderick asked them a while back, and they're willing to relicense them under LGPL for wine use: http://www.nabble.com/Re-:-RFC:-Wine-Icons-td20943769.html -- -Austin
Why not use icons from the tango project?
There's also the nuvola icon theme, which, conveniently, is already LGPL: http://www.icon-king.com/projects/nuvola/ --Juan

I believe windows contains some generic icons build into shell32 and some other dlls but theme files can override them. If that is indeed the case we could just ship some wine icon themes (or use free win32 themes). Stock icons from e.g. pango or so would be nice for the generic ones.

Nuvola is good, but I think Tango looks a lot nicer if it could be available, and I think it blends with different platforms better - it's designed specifically with that in mind. Nuvola looks very KDEish and very very blue; not as good as Tango IMHO. Does anyone know how gnome manages to handle the CC licensing issue? - given that gnome uses it everwhere?
