New Linux Desktop usability projects Tango and Better desktop

Filed under: All, Linux

New desktop usability project springing up.

Beter desktop a Nowel sponsored usability testing site/blog. What is interesting are videos of people using desktop and linux apps. Tango project aim’s to provide comon icon theme for different desktops. Normaly I wouln’t care (there are some some shared themes allready) but this project seems to have support from some wery well known linux people.

I wonder why stop at icon theme and not support projects like qtgtk wich integrates parts of kde into gtk apps, or qtk-qtk themer, whitch makes gtk apps use kde themes.

Why not build single basic theme engine (or engince spec) for use by all desktop’s ? It worked for menus, taskbars and others.
