Icon design software
by Nilesh Bansal on Tuesday 15/Nov/2005, @22:44

I am sure that KDE 4 will rock. And more so with the new fresh icon theme.

What kind of tools/software is used for designing this kind of stuff. I doubt if GIMP can do that all this. Are there any good linux based softwares?

I saw for Linux a program that is more similar in apparence to Photoshop :

But the program isn't be OpenSource or Free , you have to pay to use more than trial time ... The program isn't be so expensive.

I think that icons are madi with some SVG editor like, Inkscape or Sodipodi. They are both GPL and free. Maybe they are made with Corel.

Besides the applications that are already mentioned, I heard that XaraExtreme will become available for linux under an open source license...

I use Adobe Illustrator. The I fix the SVG files with Inkscape. I use Machintosh to work and have KDE installed also, but I try the results on another Linux machine.
