I'm a Photoshop/Illustrator junky, but want to move into open source tools.  What tools are the best for icon creation? (Inkscape, SodiPodi, The Gimp etc.) 2.) The list is obviously for Ubuntu artwork, what about Kubuntu and the others? Is there ongoing icon creation for those? 3.) Is this the right place to ask these questions, or is there a doc somewhere for newbies to the list? Thank you so much in advance, Brian -- ubuntu-art mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art</a> </blockquote></div> 1) I like to use Inkscape, but YMMV. Inkscape came from SodiPodi, btw. Try them all, see what you like best. 2) I don't think so. But a KDE icon theme could be created from the Breathe icons once they are made. 3) It is fine to me, though I am not an official opinion in any way. ;) Smartboy
