Buttonized

Release 3.0 is a major maintenance release for this project. Its to update the Icon set for Gnome 3 and KDE 4.7. There are an additional 247 Icons in this update. While most of the new Icons in the apps folder are for KDE the new actions, categories, devices, emblems, mimetypes, places and status Icons impact both with the expanded Open Desktop definitions for Gnome and KDE, with other Desktop Environments soon to follow.

The release has icons for several Desktop Environments. I went over as many as I could find to make sure that any special icons needed were in this project. Many used generic icons which are already included so no icons were actually made while the few that did, required very few to be made. So I'm sure I have covered all available environments both main stream (Gnome, KDE, etc.) while also covering the even the less popular ones but still viable.

Icons for Locales. (They are found under scalable/locales) These Location Icons conform to the ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 two letter country code standards for the naming convention, of which there are 249 official codes. All names are capitilized to conform with proper standards (I.E. AA.png) I used the flags for those countries (or areas, who knew Antartica had its own code and flag) to create corresponding Icons. Though the Open Desktop Convention does not include this in the Icon Specifications I decided this was important so that those who need to use Locale Icons will have them available.

There are 146 additional Icons that follow the ISO 639-1 two letter Language code standard. The naming convention for these Icons using lower case. (I.E. aa.png) These are styled to be used as overlay Icons.

The ISO two letter Country Code Specification can be found here (in English):

With the 1.6 release and up the download is now a nested tarball, because I added Dropbox Status Icons but they must be installed manually to work. So in order to install the Icon Set you will need to extract the initial tarball to get to the installable tarball.

The Dropbox status icons have install instructions called README.

Most Applications are now being seen when you first select this set. Some programs don't change because the program itself does not follow Open Desktop Icon Standards. You will have to manually change the Icon if you want a consistent look.

Special thanks to dimi67 and VCoolio for making several Icons for this set most of which have been included.

The download includes the Button background in .xcf (for use in the GIMP) and some common overlay and other extra icons so anyone can make Icons if they want. Please share your Icons on Gnome-Look.

The Icon directories and Icon count for this set are:

actions - 632 Icons
apps - 2126 Icons
categories - 75 Icons
devices - 228 Icons
emblems - 95 Icons
emotes - 48 Icons
locales - 249 Icons + 146 Language overlay Icons
mimetypes - 728 Icons
places - 236 Icons
status - 239 Icons + 233 in 32 sub-directory
stock - 60 Icons

Total Icons: 5097

I believe this is one of, if not, the most complete Icon Projects available and it was a lot of work to do. Even if you don't like the Icons the set will provide a base for others whom wish to make a complete Icon set themselves.
