Tango generator is a great script…

It uses this different icon themes to create a new one:

• Collected Application Icons
• Custom Application Icons
• Upstream GPL
• Custom Mime Types
• Sane Emblems
• Gnome
• Tango
• Tango Common
• Gtk Stock Icons
• Tango Unabashed
• Tangerine
• Gion
• Foxtrot
• Old Tango
• Industrial
• Gnome Alternatives
• Foglie
• Dark Media
• Tango Materia Red
• Tango Materia Green
• Ubuntu Studio
• Mist
• Si
• Crux

This is the last Changelog:
3.2.3: Fixed bug occuring due to missing archives. Added download timeout. Added more application icons. Updated icon themes (notably Discovery). Improved icon coverage.

Some Links:

• Gnome-Look
• Main Site
• Main Site Download
• Main Site Configuration Files
• Main Site Forum
• Main Site Discussion

My Current Screen (with customized tango theme (by tango generator)):

ArchLinux installation:

3 ways to install it:

1. AUR:

• get the tarball Tango Geneator
• extract it to a folder
• cd to the folder
• makepkg -i

2. Yaourt

yaourt -Sy tango-generator

3. Manual Installation (best thing) (All distributions)

• get it from here
• extract it to a folder
• cd to the folder
• open a terminal (it’s important to see if something goes wrong)
• python tango-generator

After verified all dependencies are well satisfied…

Go Forward… Load a configuration file (Download compressed zip file from here):

and now see if loading bar go to the end after downloading all icons.

If something goes wrong… see on terminal if there is a timeout error…

If it is so… reopen tango-generator and uncheck Discovery (It gives me timeout)…

Retry… if there is same error… try to delete links related to timeout in this file:

tango-generator/data/themes.xml

and retry still you have no errors (because all remaining links are up).

Good Luck! :)

PS: If you had other solutions to the tango-generator script problems… just comment it and i’ll add them to the post.
