Detailed Description
Echo Icon Theme (echo-icon-theme) is a set of icons designed to be a modern looking, usable and system-wide icon set. It started as a personal project until the community took over. It is basically a successor of Bluecurve but it uses similar metaphors like Tango!, Mango!, Gnome Icon Theme and Oxygen.

Benefit to Fedora
A unique set of icons that combines elegance and usability.

Scope
Echo-icon-theme is also available on Rawhide as pre-0.4 version.

Roadmap

 * Revise Echo Icon Theme Guidelines
 * Decide on used projections - check what other icon themes are using, check the options we have, compare them, decide what would work best
 * Prepare various templates
 * Create graphical interface for the echo-artist scripts
 * Prepare comprehensive todo list for icons we need to create or fix based on usage of icons in various Fedora Spins
 * Are all icons following the guidelines and Echo style? Are all icons consistent?
 * Create/fix icons based on the todo list
 * Work with upstream where various application icons are not themable
 * Enable in basic Fedora Spins

Test Plan

 * Install/Update echo-icon-theme from rawhide (yum --enable-repo=rawhide install echo-icon-theme)
 * Look for misrendered / missing icons and inconsistences

User Experience
Users will have a fresh look of the icons designed specially for Fedora.

Dependencies

 * gnome-icon-theme (in repos)

Contingency Plan
Stay with Mist/Oxygen icon theme.
