17 There are lila eapps (icons for those that don't use E) and lila efl
18 theme. The efl theme is no longer compatible (hasn't been for a while).
19 The lila eapps are still out there though.

21 I talked to spyderous a little bit ago and I *think* we have decided to
22 go with the tango icons customized with our color scheme. We'll either
23 find gtk/qt themes to match our color scheme or make them (I'm already
24 reading the gtk/metacity theme howto).
25
26 Tango is better for a lot of different reasons, the main one being that
27 the project is actually active and has more than a single maintainer.

29 When we get to the right point I'll contact you and we can work on E17
30 together if you want. I've already made a custom theme for E17 about 6
31 months ago so I have a *little* bit of experience with it. I'm sure you
32 probably know more about it than I do though.
