Color:...::Tango(3pm)
β¨ Color::Library::Dictionary::Tango β¨
okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about Color::Library::Dictionary::Tango β yes that's the whole manual name, it's a Perl module from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and no we are not shortening it, it's giving full government name energy π
π NAME π
Color::Library::Dictionary::Tango β the Tango color palette, bestie. that's it, that's the whole thing.
π DESCRIPTION π
so the Tango icon theme's whole thing is making apps not look like they wandered in from another planet π½ like, the goal is that someone running a multiplatform application shouldn't get that "hmm this looks unpolished and inconsistent with everything else on my desktop" vibe. it's not about smooshing all the desktop styles into one giant blob, no ma'am β the aim is just to not be drastically different on each platform. subtle. tasteful. iconic. π
and the palette itself? it's 27 RGB colors. twenty-seven. count them. i did. π
the lore lives here, if you wanna go read it: <http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines> β that's the source of truth, not me, i'm just the messenger π«Ά
