Tango-esque for the Pidgin screenlet

Section: Themes

Since taking to using Compiz with the Widget Layer plugin, I've found it much easier to use the PidginScreenlet for my Pidgin contact list.

While running v0.2.x (which only supported "online", "offline" and "online but not available") I made a quick Tango-esque theme using pixmaps. v0.3.x changed the theming method and so I remade the theme, but with better icons.

The Tango-esque theme uses icons from the Gnome theme and from Pidgin itself, plus one new icon, to provide a set of style icons that approximately match the Tango Desktop Project icon set.

Releases:

  • v1.0 release 5th May 2008

Changes:

  • Reduced brightness of some colours
  • Removed some gradients
  • Changed dark on hover to light on hover
  • Replaced icons with a combination of Gnome (online tick) and default Pidgin (away clock, busy 'no entry' sign and offline cross) icons
  • Created 'idle' question mark from tinted busy icon
