really, the GNOME desktop for a very long time, I think. And it just kind of provided a reliably consistent, attractive, consistent design for the look of files in a file manager, essentially. I mean, that's, you know, what more do you want? More applications in an application menu. And it had a color scheme, and it had guidelines. You know, it had all these kind of strict rules around what an icon was allowed to look like, or at least a Tango icon was allowed to look like. And when you do that, you get consistency. So that's Tango icon theme. It's really, really nice. I have a lot of admiration for Tango as a concept. Like that kind of open source project with those kinds of, you know, rules maybe sounds too strict, but like just a scope or a constraint of what it can include. When you do that, I mean, yes, you're limiting user creativity and that sort of thing, or contributor creativity, but sometimes that's what a project is, is the limitation of a thing. That's why it's a project. (8/45)
