Nice Icons

Languages:

Dzen icons

You can find some nice icons on the dzen wiki. They will need to be converted to png, though.

This can be done with this script (Which assumes you have 'convert' from ImageMagick installed):

 for x in *; do convert "${x}" "${x%.*}.png"; done

Note that you can resize them, for example :

 for x in *; do convert -resize 16x16 "${x}" "${x%.*}.png"; done

If you want them in a specific color, you may try something like this:

 for x in *.xbm; do convert -fill "$COLOR" -transparent white -colorize 100 "${x}" "${x%.*}.png"; done

  - If dzen wiki is unavailable here is an alternative link to one of the icon sets, sm4tik's: http://koti.24.fi/sm4tik/shared/xbm8x8-0.1.tar.gz

Pixel Style icons

Another good set of icons that match and supplement sm4tik's icons from dzen is Pixel Style pack (released under a free licence and free to use in any kind of project).

Blockie icons

Yet another good set of (16x16px) icons, Blockie icons are free for personal use.

Pinvoke icons

Pinvoke released amazing sets of mini icons under a CC license. Unlike previous sets these are not minimalist icons but a very colorful bunch, including thousands of icons from 16x16 to 8x8 pixels in size.

Small awesome icons

Some people use very small statusbars (14px or even smaller) and original layout icons don't scale so well to those sizes. For that reason I created a few sets of small icons (14px and smaller) for layouts and tags. You will also find a set of matching titlebar icons in there, to be used with recent versions of Awesome: http://sysphere.org/~anrxc/local/images/awesome-icons-anrxc.tar.bz2
