(...) The current icon set looks a tad childish. I showed inkscape to a lot of fellow designers and they always make comments about the look, but they are surprised by the excellent features. When I show them GIMP or Scribus they rant about missing features, not about the look. I really think that many people may be overlooking inkscape because it doesn't look "pro".
Yes! I must enforce that.
About Licensing: I found a comment (curiously from the same guy who finished the set) stating that the CC License of Tango icons is not compatible with a GPL program. I don't know if that's still an issue but it doesn't seem to be a problem for Scribus and GIMP people.
Ups... Not exactly... http://tango.freedesktop.org/ArtLibreSet The Tango Art Set is licensed under GPL.
The main Tango collection is under CC, and we do not need it.
I think jEsuSdA is free to license this theme under GPL. This theme uses derived CC icons? If yes, we can redraw this ones.
Well, this is more or less a summary of what I found. I'd like to know what people think about the current state of the set and about the idea of making it the default one.
Tango is good to Inkscape interface because is efficient and beautiful. And more than this, using tango we well have a near visual identity with our FOSS friend projects.
