Hi All,
I notice that some of Wine's icons have been changed in recent releases. In principle I think updating the icons is a great idea, but right now I gotta say that icons in Wine are a real disaster.
Take a look here: http://www.airwebreathe.org.uk/icons.png
This is a screenshot of the shell folder select dialog. Out of those icons My Documents looks the least broken - with it's wannabe 98/ME/2000 styling. Desktop, "/", My Computer and Trash look like they've been taken from large icons which have shrunk - badly, and with a broken alpha channel. And the new golden Folder icons look completely out of place - they bear no resemblance to anything else, they've been scaled down poorly, they don't look like Windows icons, and they don't fit in with the Gnome desktop (and I can't imagine they'd look good in KDE or on Mac either).
I'd really like for Wine to start using icons from the Tango project, or similar. The purpose of Tango was to create a set of icons that are clear to see, and look good on Windows, Gnome, KDE, and MacOS. Surely that's exactly what we want?
Note that ReactOS is using Tango, and it seems to be working out pretty well for them!
Any comments on that?
Best Regards Joel Holdsworth
