I honestly don't know. I got the icons here: http://developer.ximian.com/themes/icons/ooo-icons.html I figured that out of 1000 icons I could find most of what jEdit would need... and since it's LGPL'd I figured it would be ok to use for an example. Long term my goal is to create my own icons, as well as the graphic elements and instructions for people to create their own from bits and pieces... but until that happens, I'll just kick out what I've got or can get. ;) Pete > > Pete Prodoehl wrote: > >> >> I took the icons from OpenOffice.org, that are released under the >> LGPL, and bundled them up into a jar file for use in jEdit. >> >> The jar file is here: >> >> http://rasterweb.net/raster/code/src/jedit/icons/oooicons.jar >> >> Put this in your ~/jedit/jars/ folder... >> >> >> There is also a startup script needed to load the icons, you can find >> that here: >> >> http://rasterweb.net/raster/code/src/jedit/icons/oooicons.bsh >> >> Put this in your ~/jedit/startup/ folder... >> >> >> Here's what it looks like under Windows: >> >> http://rasterweb.net/raster/code/src/screenshots/jeditoooicons.png >> >> >> Obviously not all jEdit icons are represented, and it could use a >> little tweaking, but this was just to demonstrates how easy it is to >> load a new set of icons into jEdit.
