The Tango Desktop project is an initiative to create a consistent user experience for free and Open Source software with graphical user interfaces. The project has published style guidelines and an awesome collection of open-sourced icons in high-quality SVG format. If you’re looking for bitmapped versions, you can download a package that contains these open source icons in
SVG and PNG formats. This project is nothing if not ambitious. But if open source and having graphical user interfaces that adhere to standards is important to you I suggest you take a hard look at the Tango Desktop project as potentially something you’d like to get involved with yourself.

It’s hard to take information seriously when it looks illiterate.
