Credits
Most of these icons come from a custom Gnome icon theme based on Foxtrot created with Tango Generator, but the real credit for a lot of them goes to the Tango Desktop Project. PenguinPanic’s icon comes from Crystal SVG, and TiVoRemote’s icon comes from hicolor’s icon for gnome-lirc-properties. I created the PocketTouch icon from the iPod icon from the Foxtrot-based theme. The icons for Twitter clients are based on the Pidgin icon.
Most of the icon backgrounds were made by me. The source files are based from Jotlet’s PSD file from their blog a long time ago, but I have replaced almost everything in it, so only a few background layers are even based on theirs. The glossy overlay, shadow, and layer mask all come from the PNGs that MobileSafari uses to make Web clips, and credit for them goes to Apple.
