Open Source Icons for Mac OS X

Jeff Stys writes "Xicons.com has launched a new Open Source section of its website. The idea is to aid the Open Source software community by providing high-quality sets of toolbar icons and other user interface graphics for their Open Source programs." Many of them are very nice, indeed, and are specifically geared for use in Mac OS X.

    *sigh* Why do I bother?

    Is Emacs bloated? Yes. Do I use it for 75% of the things it can do? No. Can I use one text editor on every OS I work on easily and productively? Yes, and that's why I use it when I do.

    Though this isn't justifying bloat in any sense, we're in the days where a 60 gig drive is standard on a machine. Isn't a 50 MB functional text editor just as good if not better than a less functional 830K text editor back in the days of 1 gig drives? They take up the same space ratio wise. It's 50 megs. That is nothing compared to most drives today, or even most programs. Geez, Diablo II takes up a gig and a half!

    Somewhat on topic: Is there a linux program to decompress these .sit.hqx files?

    Pretty icons... but where's the PNG? Ugh. If they're so supportive of Open Source, why do they make it so difficult to use these icons in Linux? Pfft.
