This is a recommended project.

While the look and feel of an application is determined by many individual components, some organization is necessary in order to unify the appearance and structure of individual icon sets used within those components.
The Tango Desktop Project defines an icon style guideline to which artists and designers can adhere. Work has begun with the creation of a new icon theme based upon a standardized icon naming specification. In addition, the project provides transitional utilities to assist in creating icon themes for existing desktop environments, such as GNOME and KDE.
Eventually, the Tango Desktop Project will provide the following initiatives:
- A suggested default native look.
- A subsystem to help standardize toolkits on a common icon naming structure.
- A complete set of application, mimetype, and stock icons designed using a defined style guide.
- A general, cross-desktop human interface guideline
