I've been looking for a good looking, consistent icon theme for GNOME for a long time, but all the times I do that, I end up going back to Tango...
The problem is that usually those icon themes, although very nice, lack icons for some applications/actions/folders, and that's something I cannot bear on my desktop. Other times I end up having a mixture of icons, which makes the theme look very awkward.
Now I would like to know if you know any good icon theme that you can suggest me, according to the above "guidelines".
Thanks a lot!

I recently switched from Tango to GNOME-colors. It adds a little more color to your desktop and you have to get used to that.
But apart from that it's a great icon set.

Yeah, sorry, I forgot to mention that one... I know it, but I consider it very Tango-ish. I was looking for something a bit different. Either minimal or photorealistic. Just not Tango-like.
Thanks for your reply

Meliae (sort of minimal)
Hydroxygen (photorealistic, changeable colors)

I have the exact same problem. I'm very sensitive to this, and it seems people in general aren't. (judging from all the sets on gnome-look)
In addition to gnome-colors and tango, the ubuntu human and tangerine icon sets are pretty consistent. I've begun to modify a few icon sets that are somewhat complete, to a level that is acceptable, because i can't stand looking at my desktop otherwise. It looks amateurish. bleh!
What if people would take the extra effort and make a complete icon set, instead of just throwing in icons at random. Look at macosx! That's the way to do it.

well I totally like the echo-icon theme from fedora, which can be downloaded freely (https://fedorahosted.org/releases/e/c/e … .3.tar.bz2) and just didnt make it as default them for F10.

A good second choice for me is always nuoveXT 2, which is osx-ish but *really* complete and consistent (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ … tent=56625)
As a third I pretty much like all colored oxygen restiles for GTK (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ … tent=83003)

Echo is an excellent icon set! And it's especially nice that the Fedora folks made their start here icon as an homage to Arch

What kinda theme do you have going? I use Smokikon for gray-ish themes, MonoBlack for black and white, Hydroxygen for blue-ish but sleek, Gnome-Colors for more cartoony/colorful.
And in the midst of such perfection,
I can't help but feel diseased.

For minimal I'd recommend the OpenWorld theme in this package http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=5375 It's a little bit cartoony, but in a fresh way. It has a very consistent feel throughout the set as well.

Another vote for hydroxygen, looks nice and near everything is there.
