The “Human” theme is so named because it is derived from Humanity, an
icon theme originally developed for Ubuntu as a derivation of the
original elementary theme. Nowadays, this LibreOffice theme is
unmaintained, highly incomplete, and visually obsolete.

The Shimmer Project (known for Xubuntu and the Numix GTK+ theme) is
creating an updated icon theme, based on Human, but including the newest
elementary icons as well as creating original new ones.

@Michael: I added you to the CC list because of a licensing question:
Simon, one of the Shimmer Project developers, asked me if it is
necessary to put together a list of the individual icons and their
license (à la icon-themes/human/CopyrightsHuman). [1]  Based on what I
understand of [2], that would mean “attribution bloat”, right?

Sigh - if we can possibly avoid it - I'd -really- prefer to avoid having
masses of copies of new licenses with un-necessary individual (or
corporate) copyright claims in them. Then again - if you're going to do
the work - its good to poke Andras with the changes to the license
language you want.

Of course - crediting the authors of the icons is best done by people
committing them to git and getting credited in our credit page - that's
something we're enthusiastic about =)

Does that help ? either way upgrading Human sounds sensible to me if
people want to work on that. Thanks !

Though the human theme isnt bundled by default with libreoffice, it is
the default icon theme used for LO in Ubuntu and its flavours, except
Kubuntu, so i'd assume it would be good to make sure that Canonical
doesnt have an issue with this. I believe Ubuntu uses the human theme as
its default icon theme for its unity desktop, so it maybe important to
them to keep that consistency. CCing Bjoern for his thoughts.

During my work on tango, i have copied a few of human icons into tango
that looked suitable, when tango was falling back on industrial or
galaxy. Human should really be falling back on tango rather than
industrial with the amount of improvements that are going into tango.

Right. I would really not enjoy killing the Human theme, as likely it
would just mean that I would need to carry it as a cumbersome vendor
patch anyway, just creating lots of pointless work along the way.

What is the point/goal of this anyway? The human theme can be turned off
by a configure switch and IIRC isnt even enabled by default. If the goal
is to make Ubuntu ship a different default, this certainly isnt the way
towards that goal (see above).

If you want a different default in Ubuntu, the way to go about that is
filing a request on launchpad at Ubuntu and get that nodded of by
Ubuntus design team.

(As a general note this bug doesnt seem to be too well scoped: it
describes no clear goal and mixes too many things: removing themes,
adding themes, changing defaults with the latter being off-topic here
beyond TDF builds.)

I’m dropping the Human theme from this to make you more comfortable.

All of the icons are in elementary/src/... when they should be in
elementary/...

Will these icons be available in daily master builds, as it would be
good to test them and help the elementary team improve it. Would also be
useful to have human in the daily builds as well to test against it for
ubuntu, just like we have tango_testing, but these shouldnt be available
in releases.

Would be good to optimize the size of the elementary zip file by
removing duplicates from galaxy and likely tango and also to set its
fallback icon theme.

Having them in the daily build is up to the tinderbox owners.

Yeah maybe, but thats not part of this bug. Lets not featurecreep the
scope here ...
