The first one that comes to mind is the 'Large Print' theme out there used for accessibility. Its icons are all large, black and simplified... very non-Tango. However, the ArtLibre naming will make it possible for applications to help users who need such. (Oh, and even though Inkscape is a graphics app, we do have users with those needs asking us to better support plain black icons)</DIV></BODY></HTML>
