Tango is definitely free software!  I'm not sure what the actual license, though.  A few years ago it was incorporated into the freedesktop.org effort (http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Library).

I will start work on a Tango theme. I am not fond of these icons, but they will help to be uniform as they are generic and use. I will start with a test of colors, accents and just a couple of icons to get an idea.

I expect to have the same troubles as with the almost-done sleek theme.

I need certain support from the themeing engine. I will commit to three themes, but I hope I will get help from the engine when needed. I plan an evolutionary relase, to get something showable soon. Let me call this my "last attempt": I will put work, but I hope in works for others.

I will thus commit into 3 "pure Thematic" themes for now:
- Sleek
- Neos
- Tango

I will update the pages, blog about the progress, incorporate it in screenshots (maybe in all the ranting, nobody has noticed that the default screenshots of the "revamped" website homepage are both themed)

Stay tuned and if yo uwant to beta-test and contribute, get over to the GAP mailing list. Or I will announce stuff here, as you and users will prefer.
