the Tango Project has finally been announced!
(Novell)
The Tango Desktop Project exists to create a consistent user experience for free and Open Source software with graphical user interfaces.
The Tango project is an effort to establish high-usability visual themes for Linux desktops that function consistently across multiple desktop environments. Tango evolved from private discussions between Novell's Jakub Steiner and Mozilla Visual Identity Team lead Steven Garrity. The project went public at the Boston GNOME Summit in October. Project participants are working on specifications for cross-environment themes and a fully compatible theme they hope will be adopted by vendors.
Tango aims to address a problem of visual inconsistency between applications commonly running on user's desktop when she/he is running a GNU/Linux distribution.
Different projects have their own style that is consistent with itself (mostly), but the final user experience on the "linux desktop" is not so smooth.
