Wasn't that already tried with bluecurve (and failed)?
Nope, Bluecurve failed for exactly two reasons:
- it was not really Open Source: the license was Free but the file
format not (Adobe Illustrator), impossible to open with any FOSS
application;
- it was a one-man project, without a community, written guidelines or
source and when that one person left Red Hat, the project slowly died.
Apples versus oranges.
But a few years later, Tango tried (and I think still tries) to do the
same thing as Bluecurve: a cross desktop icon theme (we can argue about
its success and why).
