Well, that would probably be most ideal solution. Or we can find a compromise between tango and other styles like oxygen, xp/vista etc..., to make icon look more neutral.
Ok, well obviously we need to maintain our own icons for Mac and Windows, but on Linux icon themes take precedence over bundled icons.
Perhaps we should provide a selection of icons to packagers, because the different distros have different requirements with respect to default icons. Many distros default to KDE with Crystal icons; Ubuntu defaults to Gnome with Human icons.
This seems like the right approach; it gives packagers some choice in selecting an icon which will best fit the given desktop, while permitting us to maintain some level of control over the icon appearance.
Andreas and I have played with the icon a bit this afternoon and let me introduce version for Mac OS X: [1] and [2].
I've also checked the icon for Windows [3] and that version still looks to me a bit off place for XP, mainly because of the gloss. It is too much visible. The same is valid if I imagine the icon among icons for Vista so there are two possibilities: 1) Try to use the tangoified version [4] ( + is, that the 16x16 and 22x22 are way much better then actual ones. 2) Use the version we prepared for MacOS X, simplify and tweak it for smaller sizes.
On KDE in gentoo, the GIMP icon changed at one point from the clear Wilbur head, into one that "fit" so well into the desktop that I can't tell the difference between it and open office. ;-)
Yeah, I've seen that in OpenSUSE 10.0 too even in GNOME :)
I think it's most important that the icon remain conceptually consistent across as many platforms and desktops as possible. For instance, we want Windows users to grow to love Inkscape, and then when they switch to Linux, be able to easily spot it because of the familiar icon.
Agreed.
