This is an extraction of the best icons from OS X!
Many thanks to the icons maker and the extractions maker ! Hope
you like it !
Please take a look at www.xicons.com and www.iconfactory.com and
please see the READMEs !!
TODO :
- all mymetypes.
- applications the most used : PLEASE HELP ME : WHICH ICONS FOR
WHICH APPS ?
- maybe make a 128x128 only package
Purpose of this icon theme is to extend the base icon theme that follows the
Tango style guidelines for specific purposes. This would include OSD messages,
panel system/notification area, and possibly menu icons.
Icons follow the naming specification, but have a -symbolic suffix, so only
applications specifically looking up these symbolic icons will render them. If
a -symbolic icon is missing, the app will fall back to the regular name.
It all started with a little blue folder and about five other icons for
Object-Dock. Today, elementary icons is one of the most beautiful,
professional, and popular tango-styled icon sets on Gnome-Look,
it has won editor's choice on UpToDown.com,
inspired many new works such as the popular gnome-colors and new-wave
themes, and has even been proposed and implemented as the default look
for quite a few Linux distributions including Freezy Linux and
Frugalware Linux.
Attica is a Qt library that implements the Open Collaboration
Services API version 1.4. The REST API is defined here:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/open-collaboration-services
It grants easy access to the services such as querying information
about persons and contents. The library is used in KNewStuff3 as
content provider. In order to integrate with KDE's Plasma Desktop,
a platform plugin exists in kdebase.
Nucleo is a toolkit for exploring new uses of video and new human-computer
interaction techniques. Most of it comes from a previous toolkit named
videoSpace.
Like videoSpace, nucleo is motivated by the desire to focus on the uses of
video, rather than the technologies it requires. In this perspective, the
toolkit is not focused on performance or reliability issues, but rather on
the ability to support rapid prototyping and incremental development of
video applications.
Ratpoison is a simple Window Manager with no fat library dependencies,
no fancy graphics, no window decorations, and no flashy wank. It is
largely modelled after GNU Screen which has done wonders in virtual
terminal market.
All interaction with the window manager is done through keystrokes.
ratpoison has a prefix map to minimize the key clobbering that cripples
EMACS and other quality pieces of software.
Obmenu is a menu editor designed for Openbox. It's easy to use, allowing
you to get the most out of the powerful Openbox menu system, while hiding
the xml layout from the user.
It can install dynamic menus (pipe menus), such as Gnome menus or a
quick-navigator. You can also use the obxml module to easily write pipe
menus of your own in Python.
WMII is a small, dynamic window manager for X11. It supports both classic
and tiling (acme-like) window management with extended keyboard, mouse, and
9p filesystem based remote control. It replaces the workspace paradigm with
a new tagging approach and is highly scriptable (with plain shell or Python
and even Chicken).
Its minimalist philosophy attempts to not exceed 10.000 lines of code
(including all shipped utilities and libraries), to enforce simplicity and
clarity (read: it is hackable and beautiful).

Tint is a simple panel/taskbar/systray intentionally made for openbox3, but
should also work with other window managers.
The goal is to keep a clean and unintrusive look with lightweight code and
compliance with freedesktop specifications.
Tint taskbar features
* color/transparency on font, icon, border and background
* customize mouse event
* drag and drop task between desktop and switch desktop
Tint panel features
* clock with font, color and transparency
* multi-monitor : panel position adjust to monitor, taskbar by monitor
