Bug #312993 proposed the Tango set for Inkscape 0.47 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/312993
This has already been discussed but nothing happened. The general consensus seemed to be that the majority wanted the default theme but that it needed to be fixed. The original Tango Icons didn't have much support, although an alternative version with toolbar icons similar than the defaults but "tangoified" had better luck. An improved version of the default set was presented in this list some time ago without much repercussion. Besides, the default set has been converted to a separated icons set but the work isn't finished yet and the possibility of use custom icons has gone.
What's the current state of this? Is there a reason for not replacing the default set by the much improved version presented on the list? Would it be possible to commit the finished versions of both Tango (art libre) and Tango Colors icons in SVN? The reworked default theme, and both tango versions are complete and work fine with most of the GTK themes. They need improvements for very dark themes but it is possible that a new theme for that particular situation has to be created.
In the bug report you can find the icons files and samples created by dopelover displaying the issues in dark themes. In my oppinion, every proposed set performs better than the current default.
What do you think?
