Does anyone know of a good set of of open source icons? I am currently using the Boomy multiplatform (http://miloszwl.deviantart.com/art/Boomy-multiplatform-36215357) set, but it's rather limited.

Otherwise, I know about the Silk icon set (http://www.famfamfam.com/), but they are only 16x16 and somewhat dated (2006!). There is also the Tango library (http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Library), the Open Icon Library (http://openiconlibrary.sourceforge.net/) which I find to be a mess, and the Faenza library (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Faenza?content=128143) which I have just found and which seems quite nice.

Anyway, any other icon set that I should be aware of?

I have used Fugue Icons (http://p.yusukekamiyamane.com/) in some of my projects, they are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0.

I know that the source is provided (I had a look at it), but it would be a real pain to extract all the icons at 32x32 (that seems to be their original size which is the bare minimum I would be interested in). Well, the author invites suggestions, so I am going to email him... :)

There are also KDE's crystal icons and oxygen icons.

There are also KDE's crystal icons and oxygen icons.Thanks for this. I think we might have a winner (for me at least!) with the Crystal icons (http://www.everaldo.com/crystal/). Otherwise, where on earth can one download the Oxygen icons (http://www.oxygen-icons.org/)? I can see a preview for it, but no download link, unless it's buried somewhere?!

There are other oxygen related resources on kde-look as well.

I would guess KDE should hold the main repository for oxygen-icons but I can't find it now.
