My app is getting a toolbar for launching all components that I've built.
I've seen some pay-for-icons sites and I'm wondering if there is a good open source alternative.

Thanks, all,
Barton

Hi,
Ive had an extensive search on icons...and found only ne open source one (and it provides them in SVG Format too :)...exciting)
its called tango icons
Its a good set of icons but there arent too many, maybe you might not get what you want...but it should be close

There also some downloads available from sourceforge.net and freshmeat.net, but tango is most appealing one... but you sould give the others a go

That's precisely what I have been looking for, my fiend! Thank you.
I knew that something like that had to exist, but Google searches were swamped with the pay-for site links. Even using keywords like "open source" didn't seem to help much.

Thanks, again,
Barton

Well, yes i had done the same thing...spent 1.5 months after this (and until then we were pirating icons from other sites), and well tango icons look good and smooth, though they are extensively used in linux distros (suse does), so anyone who has seen suse can recognise it (luckily everyone i showed it to, never cared for any other OS other than Windows)
So well..yes this library always amazes people :), love spreading the word for them
