Gifts, Contests, Easter Eggs As some of you may have noticed by now, OSNews has started using icons from the Tango Project to replace many of our old icons. You can spot the new icons conveniently on the topic page. In the Tango icon library we have found numerous icons we could use, but understandably, Tango was not made for OSNews: we cannot replace all the icons we want with Tango icons - yet. And this is where you come into play. So, read on for the rationale behind choosing the Tango icon set, and how you can help us - and win a subscription to our ad-free version!

not sure what's unclear about that.


The unclarity stems from this:

Image previews of Oxygen are released under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.5 License. This because we want to keep Oxygen fresh for KDE 4, that will be released sometime in the middle of 2006.


Seeing KDE4 isn't out yet, I figured the icons were not to be used yet. On top of that, we cannot really afford to be uncertain about these matters. The Tango guys have their set out, with one, clear, license, and that made the difference on the license part of the story.

In addition comes the aesthetics side of it; even though I personally really love the Oxygen set, it just doesn't fit OSNews as well as the Tango icons do.
