Maybe there, but that's where the action is taking place. Personally, I find that Red Hat's Bluecurve icons are perhaps the finest all-around for clarity and clean lines. IIRC, they were previously licensed to be Red Hat-only (the artist being on their payroll). Does anyone know if that's changed now that Fedora is out? It would be great to have those in contrib. > > http://librsvg.sourceforge.net/theme.php > > OK, Amaranth and Wasp look decent D'oh! That reminds me that G�tz is waiting for me on a bug report. The Wasp icon set is woefully incomplete, being based on a set that in turn was based on BeOS and only done in the designer's free time. > > http://librsvg.sourceforge.net/images/spheresandcrystal.png > > Also partly a Crytal rip ... anyway, I believe the KDE3.2 versions of > crystal are SVG (for KDE3.1 I believe they were rendered to PNG from the > SVG?). Crystal icons were originally bitmapped, then Everaldo made a bitmapped version rendered from SVG ("Crystal SVG", natch). KDE 3.2 will use a hybrid SVG/bitmap that allows optimization at small sizes.
