Tango (KDE prepackaged)
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
The Tango Project (http://www.tango-project.org/) exists to create a unified look-and-feel on Open Source & Free software projects.
Actually, these guys did the hard work, not me. The only thing I did was going trough the hassle of compiling, fixing, and updating some things.
As stated earlier the package is not installable by adding it in Kcontrol's Icons module. But still easier then it seems. Skip the download link below and open up a terminal. Copy'n'paste following rule, press enter and wait a few minutes. THIS WORKS!!!!!
cd ~/.kde/share/icons && wget "http://www.kde-look.org/content/download.php?content=45731&id=1" && tar -xvzf Tango-1.0.tar.gz && rm Tango-1.0.tar.gz && kcmshell icons && cd ~
Some notes:
- All the icons are converted from their SVG originals (including the tango-icon-theme-extras package)..
- After seeing that ksvgtopng is not able to convert SVG transperency I used rsvg to build the iconset.
Have a lot of fun with it!

And yes, Icon Naming Utilities creates symlinks which makes tarring up an installable package rather difficult which is why i've never posted one at http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=32288

After all this method is far more easier to install then compiling these packages by hand. But imho it does not matter that much :) Perhaps the whole compiling is not that hard, but people are scared to do so which is not in favour of these wonderfull icons :P

Meaning Tango is far more trouble than it should be far anyone to use, if your distribution has not made a package for it.

I composed following rule (same as above) which automatically downloads, extracts and launches the icon module to set it all up!!.. NO DOWNLOAD NEEDED!, the script does..
cd ~/.kde/share/icons && wget "http://www.zuurstofcel.nl/Tango-1.0.tar.gz" && tar -xvzf Tango-1.0.tar.gz && rm Tango-1.0.tar.gz && kcmshell icons& && cd ~

Are the icons named correctly already? Or do we need name them manually?

Well, this was the same thing I was a little annoyed about, so I decided to go trough all the hassle and scripts.. I had to adjust some .sh files to let it use my patched rsvg build, but after all it worked :)
So, now you guys could benefit of it :P
