Today, the GNOME Project celebrates the release of GNOME 2.12, the latest
version of the popular, multi-platform Free desktop environment.

Released on schedule, to the day, it is the culmination of six months effort
by GNOME contributors around the world: hackers, documentors, usability and
accessibility specialists, translators, maintainers, sysadmins, companies,
artists, users and testers. Due to their hard work, we have another great
release to be proud of - thanks very much to every contributor!

You'll find plenty of information about GNOME 2.12 in our extensive release
notes, linked from the 2.12 start page.

I don't see a lot different

I don't see a lot different with Gnome-look's high rated icon themes. There's XP/Vista and Mac -alikes, along with a couple concept-themes, which are interesting, but a little too concepty for a default.

And to pick on KDE again, they haven't majorly changed their iconset in years either. (it's been Crystal since 3.0 in 2002 AFAIK)

Evolution is fine-- it would be interesting to see some tweaks done. (Colorizable folders are something I'd personally love to have) I just don't think the icons need need revolution.
