Let’s Tango

August 6th, 2007 — Richard D. Worth

The Tango Desktop Project

exists to help create a consistent graphical user interface experience for free and Open Source software.

It provides (among other things) a standard set of icons under an open source license. All are available as SVG, as well as being optimized for standard sizes. Beautiful stuff.

I’m also a big fan of the Tango Color Palette, which is Public Domain. This weekend I started making use of it to do a Tango Theme for jQuery UI.

I’ve been looking for a high-quality free icon set for a while. I recently happened on this one, called Silk, by a designer named Mark James (FAMFAMFAM):
