Re: SVG Open source Icons

[peter foley-2]

Hi,

I had a look around for other options.

The "Tango!" Icon Gallery looks interesting.

Homepage: http://tango.freedesktop.org/
Image of the Icon Library:
http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Gallery

Terms of use - "The color palette is public domain. The actual icons are
licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license".
See the FAQ for more info:
http://tango.freedesktop.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions

Another good set is located at: http://sweetie.sublink.ca/ which is
licensed under the Creative Commons license, this site also provides the
photoshop documents so it is possible to re-colour or change the icons.

A good article with links to lots and lots of "Symbols, Buttons and
Icons" is
http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2006/09/03/symbols-buttons-and-icons-for
-free/

Hope this helps.

Peter.

I like them, and there are plenty of choices of navigation icons there,
but
no admonishment graphics: which is what we need for PDF generation.

Nice! Perhaps we can tweak that to get Matias/Rene green style.
Man! Boost is going green! :-)

Hey! The green arrows there rocks!
I have been reading about svg support in modern browsers and it is
very disappointing. In a few years (it is not for sure that firefox
3.0 will allow us to use svg in each place a png can be used) we can
switch our html to svg, but for now we must stay with pngs.
Pdf generators needs svg pictures, so the best thing we can do is to
choose some svg icons and convert them to png for our web pages.

Yes, it helps a lot :)

Can you dig into and choose nice admonitions svg icons?
They have to look nice here:
