Nuvola

Encyclopedia : N : NU : NUV : Nuvola

Nuvola (from Italian "cloud", Nuvola as evolution of the SKY icon theme) is a free software / open-source software icon set drawn by David Vignoni. Originally created for desktop environments like KDE and GNOME, it was repackaged for Windows^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]} and Macintosh. The final version, 1.0, contains almost 600 icons. The default set is in the PNG graphics format; an SVG version is also available.

The application icons, in particular, colourfully represent a wide variety of commonplace and easily-recognized objects. Most icons are blue, but other colours are present as well.

Some Wikipedia pages, such as [Browse], use mostly Nuvola icons. Wikipedia also maintains a separate listing of other [Iconsfree icons].

It's released under terms of GNU LGPL 2.1.

Uses

Besides KDE and GNOME, Nuvola is used by the Gaim instant messaging client and the Amarok media player.
