"The Tango Desktop Project exists to create a consistent user experience for free and Open Source software with graphical user interfaces." But this user experience is not consistent due to representation of folder colour (now in shades of blue). Folder in shades of yellow colour is standard-default representation on: GNOME (since 2.0 - June 2002) OpenOffice.org (since fist builds - 2001) Mozilla Thunderbird (since 0.1 - July 2003) Mozilla Firebird/Firefox (since 0.6 - May 2003) Microsoft Windows (since Windows 3.11 - December 1993) Microsoft Office (since 7.0 - August 1995) Yellow folder icons has been familiar to most users of leading Open Source projects for past several years and even to most computer users for more than 10 years. Please consider suitable change in Tango icon set. Thank you.
Windows Vista - yellow GNOME - beige KDE - blue Mac OS X - blue So we went for blue. The color of the default folder is a popular bikeshed discussion. We used to have a grey folder in tango to be completely neutral, but changed it based on the stuation above.
