This collection was developed from the need for a collection of small bitmaps for both programming and X application icons. The library is, in general, freely usable. However some authors of icons have some restrictions and/or copyrights, check the README file in the approprite section you found the icon in. I would appreciate any new icons you may like to add to this collection and can be e-mail'ed to me on, anthony@cit.gu.edu.au.
WWW Users and fellow WebMasters should take particular note of the icon sections WWW Application Icons (appl/www) and File Symbols (appl/desktop/file). Many icons in the other sections of the library may also be extremely useful to the WWW information provider.
The WWW Application Icons (appl/www) are usally converted into the GIF format for actual use in a WWW server (see the "README" file in this section for conversion information. You can also download a gzip'ed tar file of WWW images in GIF format.
Icons are very difficult to group in a logical way. This sub-directory orginization represents my own attempt at this near impossible task. Please mail me on any comments or suggestions you may have or your own contributions to this library.
- Descriptive Icons. (sorted by size and type)
- Icons for general symbols, window icons and display backgrouds.
- Application Icons. (sorted by application use)
- Icons for use within specific applications or type of application.
- Programming Icons. (sorted by type, style and use)
- Icons which are generally programmed into actual applications.
NOTE: This section is also a catch all for miscellaneous icons.
- Large Icons.
- Icons which are overly large. Because of this, these images are not really part of the icon library. They are included as the images are very clean and parts of them are highly usable for the creation of other icons.
