I totally agree. Of course hardcoding visuals isn't nearly so cool as doing them "properly", but right now that's what we've got - and these hardcoded visuals are even being "upgraded", so if they're being upgraded then wouldn't it be better to upgrade in the direction of some kind of a standard?
At least in the past the visuals sort-of looked consistent with Windows 98. Now they don't look consistent with anything. Don't get me wrong: the new icons I see aren't specially bad - it's just that they don't fit with anything else.
I wonder if we can fix this.

I don't have any problems with Tango in the short-term - Wine doesn't match my desktop anyway. I just don't want to see a huge amount of effort get put into it if a theming system is going to be put in place.
But since the icons are being replaced anyway, I agree that using an already-existing icon set makes way more sense than creating all-new icons.
