Bug Description

The GNOME-themed tomboy icon in the applet has been replaced by something in the Tango theme. This means that anyone still using the GNOME theme has an icon that is inconsistent with the rest of their desktop and doesn't match.

Please ship the original GNOME icon for people using the GNOME theme.

The old icon should be still shipped for those of us using the GNOME theme, who prefer black outlines, etc.

Scott, the problem is that the only possible icon of tomboy that could be changed according to the currently used theme is the one used in the .desktop file. All others[1] are placed in the tomboy binary and it's unfortunately not possible to use the ones from the theme with the current code.
As Ubuntu's default icon theme is similar/a derivate of Tango I thought it might be better to use the tangofied icons already[2] for dapper to present the user more unified icons.

[1]: they are placed in the Tomboy.exe as assembly resources... this are the ones used for the panel/tray, the notes-icon in the tomboy menu and the search image in the search dialog

Sorry, I disagree with it being Rejected -- I'm not talking about the .desktop icon, I'm talking about the icon in the applet itself.

Yeah I have to agree with you... sorry for that. This bug is now filed upstream as it would be non-trivial to fix this behaviour in tomboy

Ok... this is fixed upstream now and we automatically get this with the next release. If possible I'll ask for a UVF for edgy...
