Care to cite examples?
- nailer 13y ago- One Linux Window Manager I used understood the concept of icons, but used the same icon for every piece of software. - Most apps didn't install .desktop files for years after they were standardised. - OpenOffice/LibreOffice is still a shotgun blast of icons, years after MS abandoned the concept. TBH, good examples of OSS UI are harder to come by than bad ones. The only one I can think of is Firefox. Edit: as the poster below points out, those aren't official GNU apps, they just run on Linux. That said, I don't think GNU is much different from other OSS.
- icebraining 13y agoOpenOffice is not a GNU project, and the GNU window manager (GNOME Shell) doesn't suffer from lack of variety in icons.
