Tango project announced

Submitted by stro on Tue, 2005-10-11 07:14. Gnome Art

Jakub Steiner wrote: One thing I have been working on recently together with a few folks is what we now call the Tango project.

Tango aims to address a problem of visual inconsistency between applications commonly running on user's desktop when she/he is running a GNU/Linux distribution. Different projects have their own style that is consistent with itself (mostly), but the final user experience on the "linux desktop" is not so smooth. Just like there is a lot of standards people have been able to agree on across free software projects, Tango tries to propose a few building bricks to make the consistent visual experience possible.

No KDE Artists?

Submitted by Anonymous George on Wed, 2005-10-12 23:52.

While some KDE people might have been surprised by Tango I seriously doubt that the "KDE people that matter" in this case were! Here are some observations.
In the KDE world the Appeal artists now have total control over all of the artwork and develop it all behind closed doors. So if you want to get anywhere with "KDE art" in Tango you need to contact the Appeal artists as they are now the first and last word on the KDE art subject.
The possible surprise for the Tango devs may be that in order to get in contact with the lead artist that heads up the "Appeal(KDE) project art" all they will have to do is cross the hall from the Novell offices to the Suse offices.
Yup both Tango and Appeal are in part or whole?(not sure which) Novell projects. Now add to that Novell owns Xemian! Here are the questions that need to be asked. What % of a D.E. is graphics? And what % of Gnome and KDE does Novell now control? I mean you gotta hand it to Novell... literally!
