The reasoning

Many GTK applications (including the whole Gnome desktop) are using Tango icons. These icons are designed to look nice in many environments (on all kinds of backgrounds and in many different OSes). So both for unification purposes on Linux and for cross-platform reasons, it would be nice to have a complete Tangoified Inkscape Icon Set for a future release (hopefully sooner rather than later).


The Tangoified set here is lacking many icons. It is based on the Tango ArtLibre Icon Set, which Gimp also uses.


This page is a place to list all the icons Inkscape needs, the corresponding icons (whether they exists already or not) in the ArtLibre Set and the proposed Tangoified icon for Inkscape. This would be the ArtLibre icon directly or an improved version, made to fit withing Inkscape more properly.

Standard naming and loading

We should try to get Inkscape loading those from standard calls and naming so that users can switch icons externally. The Tango naming utilities and following the Icon Naming Specification might help.

To get things going well, we also would probably need to get Inkscape to hook itself in a standard GTK+ icon source. (So Inkscape would ask GTK+ to get an icon for it, and GTK+ would turn around and ask Inkscape to provide that icon).

Furthermore, and icon set switcher would be nice to void fidling with SVG files in .inkscape/icons/

The Icons

There are 246 unique inkscape icons. All of them are listed in the following tables. Each of which is structured as follows: an image of current Inkscape icon, the name of this icon in Inkscape, the size at which the SVG should be designed (in pixels) to look crisp in standard GTK themes, a short description of the tool, the corresponding ArtLibre icon and ArtLibre icon name (NA if it does not exists), an image of the proposed replacement icon.

All image need to be manually uploaded. If you wish to help upload a few to this wiki, you can download a ZIP file of all icons already named from [1]
