Worth http://rdworth.org/blog/2007/08/06/lets-tango/ 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.

You can type something like “c” or “<” and it will display all the HTML Character Entities that look like what you typed. Handy. And it uses my new favorite JavaScript library, jQuery.

Worth http://rdworth.org/blog/?p=3 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):
