Sources of free icons
FreeMind uses (a) tool icons used in the toolbars, and (b) icons used in nodes. Especially for the icons used in nodes, a good comprehensive source of free icons is needed. FreeMind uses PNG icons, in the size of 16 x 16. Nowadays many icons are drawn in SVG vector format first, and converted to 16 x 16 bitmap images afterwards.
Ideally, it would not be the task of FreeMind team to draw icons; this task should be outsourced instead. Whether this is a realistic assumption remains to be seen.
Some links on the sources of free icons follow.
- Icons at kde-look
- Icons at gnome-look
- Crystal icons — an icon set often used in KDE desktop environment
- Tango Desktop Project — an icon library for KDE and Gnome, licenced under Creative Commons Attribution Sharealike
- Silk icons — 1000 icons licenced under Creative Commons attribution license
- Open Clip Art Library — a library used for some Mediawiki icons, mostly not suitable as a source of icons but rather as of clipart
- Open Clipart at Wikimedia commons
