Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work):
well this is the theme im making the icons look best on because its the one im using hope you all like
----------------
this this is the 4th version of my icon set
ok so the reason behind this
i really like the tangerine icon set fro ubuntu... but its brown/orange now for alot of people and distros this isn't going to look right
so we have the best of both worlds a icon set that fits in well with kde and gnome and is blue
anyways its far from finished i still got some issues with some icons that arn't as good as they can be if you have anything you would like to add, see added or something that just looks like sh** please do tell me
Update 15/08
This is a fix up for the broken/missing cd icons i would like to thank muchtomydelight for taking time to fix it for everyone
Update 30/05
fix some symbolic links many thanks to muchtomydelight for pointing that out
fixed some details here and there
----------
UPDATE #4 ...14/05
added some more icons now if you're on ubuntu dapper and you log out the shut down restart and hibernate buttons are themed
settled on using the black+blue navigation buttons they look better on a dark background
UPDATE #3..07/05
ok heres a new version alot more icons fixed up that flag and some other icons added quite a few more as well
--------------------
UPDATE #2... 04/5
ok heres version .03
changes include:
the stop button(made it darker)
preferences-desktop-locale(changed the flages now its chinese and french)
drive-harddisk(used the oribinal tango one fir this just darkened it a bit and made it more simple)
media-cdrom(added more red it just looked better)
im still working on this if you have any suggestions please do let me know
------------------------

hey im moding/making a darker blue version of the tango-orange theme.
the reason is that i really like the orange version of many of the icons but because its orange it only really fitted in with ubuntu, so started to make this
here a list of things i did differently
*shortened the white top half of the folder ( a few people didn't like having such a high one)
* added more black to the server box( i really liked the extra black on the box that orange tango introduced)
*added a recycling logo to the trash can ( some users thought it looked like a battery)
*removed some extra details from the computer screens(just to make it look more simple and uniform)
*added a shadow to network-offline 's X logo just like the network-error icon
hope some of you like it, if you don't please tell us what bugs you. i only started today so i open to suggestions comments or anyone that wants to add to it
ps im thinking of changing the folder does anyone have a idea what should be done with that

Version Française : Félicitation, ton thème a été retenu pour Ubuntu Studio ! English Version : Congratulation, your topic was retained for Ubuntu Studio!
My only change would be a Ubuntu logo (in either Orange, or Noir) instead of the Gnome Logo... otherwise, it's great!
I know that the other guys from Ubuntu Studio contacted you about this awesome theme. Can you be sure to add an icon for ardour? They have a new logo now at ardour.org, and the "A" in the logo looks great as an icon. It'd be good to have this in your theme as well as Ubuntu Studio. :D
thanks!!!
What GTK-Style is that used on the Screenshots?
I like the look. Do you have a Firefox tango noir theme?
hmmm i never tried.. do you know how to make one? because it would be a nice touch
In forums Mozilla zine Ed Hume it explains: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=345753 This is a little complicated.
found these but forgot to put them in the list for you. drive-cdrom.svg -> /home/andrew/Desktop/tango-modern/scalable/devices/media-cdrom.svg gnome-dev-cdrom.svg -> /home/andrew/Desktop/tango-modern/scalable/devices/media-cdrom.svg http://www.atprocks.com/tango-noir0-7.2.tar.gz unofficial icon set with fixed CD-ROM use at your own risk. but i promise all i done was fix the broken links.
hey there's no icon for Creat a CD/DVD in Resouces Menu of Gnome! Let's correct it!
is that a missing icon or is it a icon you would like see added eg a cd with a + on/next to it
ls -l ~/.icons/tango-noir-0.6/scalable/actions | grep andrew gives me these broken links. i fixed mine. but some users are not so lucky. they are beautiful icons. gtk-apply.svg -> /home/andrew/Desktop/tango-modern/scalable/actions/dialog-apply.svg gtk-close.svg -> /home/andrew/Desktop/tango-modern/scalable/actions/dialog-close.svg gtk-no.svg -> /home/andrew/Desktop/tango-modern/scalable/actions/dialog-cancel.svg gtk-ok.svg -> /home/andrew/Desktop/tango-modern/scalable/actions/dialog-apply.svg gtk-quit.svg -> /home/andrew/Desktop/tango-modern/scalable/actions/dialog-close.svg gtk-yes.svg -> /home/andrew/Desktop/tango-modern/scalable/actions/dialog-apply.svg
thanks i'll fix them now :D :D cheers mate
Where'd you get the icon set for gimp??? I've been looking for some for ages now and failing misserably
i don't use the gimp so i wouldn't know i use inkscape for the icons
Hoy, great update :). I was wondering, I think that the colours are too dark (yeah it's call Tango-noir I know :p) and that's not really making it looks that good. Why not change the dark colour to a less dark one ? (see the folders ? Well arrows, etc... would be better with those colours I think) :). Anyway, I love that icon theme, great work ;).
thanks for your comment ... once i have finished this one i'll make a lighter version that way everyone can have what they like :D
Yeaaah thx buddy :).
Hey, thanks for this really good icon theme! :)
why thank you :)
Yeahhh ! I love the tangerine icon set but it was Orange as you said. Now I'm happy :D !!! Thank you for your hard work :).
:D that good to hear :D
i love it!!! the only thing which is imho sub-optimal is the lock-screen picture which doesn't fit within the shutdown dialog, because everything elseis a blue/black symbol, but this is a screen + a yellow lock ... ugly .. :-)
