Hi Martin!
Another possibility would be to do it the other way around, using Echo 
shapes (isometric and stuff) and your own metaphors for save-as etc., 
but use the tango styling. That would give you the benefit of not having 
to redo everything in every application on the desktop, as it would fit 
in with what's already there, but still have control over your base set.
Just a idea. Keep up the good work!
