WARNING: AIcons is a library developed for X Window users and programmers. As such the format of the icons is X Bitamps (monocrome) and X Pixmaps (color). However, a section of icons for the WWW are pre-converted to the correct GIF format and can be seen and downloaded from...

WWW Icons Preview.
GZip'ed Tar of WWW Icons (pre-converted).

This collection was developed from the need for a collection of small bitmaps for both programming and X application icons. The library is, in general, freely usable. However some authors of icons have some restrictions and/or copyrights, check the README file in the approprite section you found the icon in. I would appreciate any new icons you may like to add to this collection and can be e-mail'ed to me on, anthony@cit.gu.edu.au.

If you are looking for a specific icon you can now search the library by filename sub-strings to find an icon you want faster. For example try "shuttle" or "dragon".

You can also download a gzip'ed tar file of the whole library as it stands at this moment. This link causes the whole library to be tar'ed, compressed and sent, so please do this only if you really want the whole library. Each of the sub-sections of the library also has a similar link so you should not need to download everything.

I also recommend that you download the XbmBrowser program to view the un-tar'ed contents of the library. Without this program (or its equivelent), locating the icon you want to use in any icon library is difficult. This library would NOT have been possible to maintain without the creation of this program.

Icons are very difficult to group in a logical way. This sub-directory orginization represents my own attempt at this near impossible task. Please mail me on any comments or suggestions you may have or your own contributions to this library.

Major Section Divisions

Descriptive Icons. (sorted by size and type)

Icons for general symbols, window icons and display backgrouds.

Application Icons. (sorted by application use)

Icons for use within specific applications or type of application.

Programming Icons. (sorted by type, style and use)

Icons which are generally programmed into actual applications.
NOTE: This section is also a catch all for miscellaneous icons.

Large Icons.

Icons which are overly large. Because of this, these images are not really part of the icon library. They are included as the images are very clean and parts of them are highly usable for the creation of other icons.
