+ still something wrong with inheritance (Jay) + Samuel will look at one of them + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93866 + easiest solution: eg. for tango, during build concat tango + galaxy links.txt, and put to images_tango.zip + one shared links.txt is probably not possible (Jay/Samuel) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91565 tango - https://bug-attachments.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=115945 galaxy - https://bug-attachments.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=119516

+ Asking Gnome team for help with Tango (Jay) https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757162 + reached out to the Gnome people (Jay) + the recent Tango is a mixture of Gnome 2 Tango and Gnome 3 Adwaita (Jay) + hoping in some interest there - like there was with Breeze (Jay)
