Tango Project : Icons & useful info

The Tango Desktop Project exists to create a consistent user experience for free and Open Source software with graphical user interfaces.

While the look and feel of an application is determined by many components the initial work has been done on unifying the look of the individual icon sets.

Tango defines a standard icon style guidelines document that applications and desktop enviroments can adhere to. Work has started on creating a new base icon theme based on a standard icon naming specification. In addition, we provide transition utilities to create icon themes for existing GNOME and KDE desktops.


Eventually, the Tango Desktop initiative aims to provide:

• A specified default native look.


• A subsystem to help standardize toolkits on a common look and feel.


• A complete, standard set of application, mimetype, and stock icons to build upon a style guide.


• Cross-desktop humane interface guidelines.
