rhythmbox is ugly; fix included

Could you post a direct link to the artwork or attach it directly in the bug? I rarely read the forum and simply forget my login everytime I try to view artwork on it. Not sure why you need a login to see the artwork to begin with, really.

I've attached a screenshot of the new icons, there is also a new tray icon which is slightly better looking musical note; but isn't in the screenshot.
The source files are in the thread or I can post them here as well if you want.

Not sure what's happening with rhythmbox, the new version released seems to have a tango icon theme that some people have touched up in this thead; but I prefer Lauri's icons...they seem more Human.

Here are the files themselves, I should stress these mostly come from Lauri Tamila and his guide (http://www.taimila.com/orange-look.php) with the radio icon coming from a thread mentioned above.

hello there...
I'm a newbie member of the group, pretty much following the dicussion board, but I'm getting a little lost on what is the goal of the project. I would like to help in terms of my art skill. I would like to receive a simple task at first...thanks.

We recently modified the icons in rhythmbox upstream. [1]
You can check them out and see if you think they blend well together with human. If think they do a pretty good job.

Anyway, in the process we fixed the names and made it all more themeable as well.
Here are the new names:

actions:
internet-radio-new.png
playlist-automatic-new.png
playlist-new.png
podcast-new.png

apps:
rhythmbox.png

places:
library-internet-radio.png
library-podcast.png
playlist-automatic.png
playlist.png

I'll put the names up in the gnome wiki as well later today. [2]
Now we just need some High Contrast icons, but that's another issue (and it's desperately, desperately needed).

@tdatu:

I think that icon is too gimmicky. The human, tango and tangerine icons are a bit more subtle and smooth. They also have a bit more depth to them with subtle gradients.

If the icon were to have radio waves radiating from the music-note, similar, but not exactly the same as the RSS feed logo, we might have an icon.

tdatu, Prajjwol -- there isn't anything to 'do' really.

Nice icon. Ignore the bikesheds.

oh ok...cool. I'll try your suggestion--"more depth, subtle gradients, not RSS logo, and not gimmicky."
thanks for the feedback, appreciate it.

Is rhythmbox still ugly? Can this report be closed?

We did not include these icons so the report should stay open

Don't you think this would get more attention of it was posted on brainstorm.ubuntu.com ? There is not much going on here.

To be honest it is simply a matter of including the proposed icons in the package

This bug does seem to have been made redundant by the improved tango icons that were included I think in the gutsy release. While rhythmbox IMHO still needs a bit of work these icons won't do much to address that. I would be happy for this to be closed or deleted.

So I'm closing this for the original reporter's request.
