This is a little off topic but someone here knows, I’m sure… Does anyone have a good site to find freely available standard icons for things like add/edit/delete/save? I’m looking for a set of clean and simple matching icons that capture that Railsy-Web 2.0 feel… Maybe icons aren’t Railsy… Steven ---

I got the following email from Karsten for developing icons for Swing based application. I guess Tango can be used for anything. So you can create your own icons for items that you don’t find anywhere else. "The Eclipse project provides two icon sets, an older one before Eclipse 3.1 M6 and the current one. I personally use the older one, because it “works” better with Win2K and OS X. Both Eclipse icon sets are primarily pixel-based, don’t scale, but are quite easy to extend even for developers, which often lack design experience. Another great icon set is at [tango-project.org](http://tango-project.org). You can download the 0.7.2 tango-icon-theme, that already has many frequently used icons. Tango provides all image resources and has info about how to create new Tango-style icons. Since you have the sources, you can produce SVGs and so can scale your icons with the resolution, which becomes more and more important." — “Robert W.

I find that Crystal Clear and Nuvola icons are great. They are in png format, and have sizes ranging from 16x16 up to 128x128. There’s lots from this site: [http://www.kde-look.org](http://www.kde-look.org) Crystal Clear: [http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=25668](http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=25668) Nuvola: [http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=5358](http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=5358) Hope that helps, john.
