tango-artwork

I’ve just edited About section to make it some­what more up to date. Most impor­tantly, I wanted to clarify what I was hoping to work on before Dapper got released:

tango-artwork

The package tango-artwork will be a package avail­able in the uni­verse repos­i­to­ries for you to down­load such that you do not have to find Tango-​styled artwork on various, some­times hard to find places on the web for a con­sis­tent free desktop feel, by just down­load­ing and the package as you would through your package man­age­ment system to get edubuntu-​artwork or xubuntu-​artwork. I hope that from tango-​artwork I can also build rpm and ebuild pack­ages which hope­fully will make it upstream and into other distributions/package man­age­ment repos­i­to­ries. At first this will be for the GNOME and XFCE desktop but I intend to create a package for the KDE desktop shortly after­wards as well. I admitt, this was sup­posed to be ready for Dapper Drake (Ubuntu 6.06), however it has been delayed. I intend to get this fin­ished, at least into Ubuntu’s uni­verse repos­i­to­ries (not just for Dapper but for Breezy also) by the end of this month (June).

So, expect some cool stuff soon. ;)

PS. I love these Tango emotes.

    Hi Pascal,

    Those tango emotes are rather funky, I want to incor­po­rate them into my website now :). In ref­er­ence to your tango-​artwork, I’d be more than happy to create a package for Arch Linux. Good luck, and I look forward to it.

    BTW: I’d love to see the tango firefox, thun­der­bird, ryhthm­box, blue­fish type appli­ca­tion icons. However, I under­stand there may be legal issues with firefox/thunderbird.

    A Firefox theme was in the final stages just before Dapper was released, however it was not fully com­plete and at that time it was too late too add. The artwork team is going to meet within the week and then, once the Paris summit is over we’re hope­fully going to get things rocking for Edgy, which will also mean pack­ages that end up in Dapper and Breezy repos.

    On the list of things we’ve got Firefox and Thun­der­bird Tango and Ubuntu themes (they’re essen­tially com­plete already).

    As for Rhythm­box, it’s a GNOME app so it uses the selected GNOME icon set. If that is Tango you get Tango icons, but I agree, it’s not yet com­plete. Icons for shuffle, repeat, library, radio, pod­casts, the playlists are not yet done but yea, they are on the list I would imagine for the Tango Project. Might see if I can help with some of those actu­ally…

    As for Blue­fish, I think it’s devels have par­tially used their own special icons…

    Cheers, and thanks for offer­ing to create an Arch package for tango-​artwork. I’ll give you a buzz once it’s done.
