Oh no, those icons. Shadows and depth without perspective looks really awkward. Lots of the icons blend into the background because of low contrast and lack of border or drop shadow. I really liked the tango icons.
- ChuckNorris89 6y agoAgreed. I didn't know what was wrong with them at a first glance but now I see it. They look more like the icons from a phone from 2004, like a Motorola or Symbian OS. Still love XFCE.
- ptx 6y agoAt least they're easily distinguishable by both shape and color.
- vanderZwan 6y agoWell, I don't have a strong opinion on them myself, but I can offer you some reassurance: this is Linux. There's always at least a few programmers grumpy enough in response to any kind of change that they'll do something about it and provide some option to use the old thing. I'm sure the tango icons will have their own legacy icon theme soon enough, if not already.

- zamalek 6y agoThere are dozens of icon themes available. They should already mostly work because, according to the post, XFCE has moved to the standardized icon naming.
- hnlmorg 6y agoIcons are trivial to change in Linux. If you preferred the Tango icon pack then just set the icon pack to Tango. There are GUI utilities to manage this for you too.
- nine_k 6y agoXfce happily uses whatever icon set you name in the settings app. Same with GTK themes.
