Calibre can look a bit out of place on a gnome desktop due to the oxygen icons that come bundled with it. I've put together a partial replacement icon theme based on Tango and Humanity. Enjoy!

To use on debian-based distros, copy contents of /images/ to /usr/share/calibre/images/

For other GNU/Linux distributions, open up a terminal and use the command whereis calibre
to locate your install path and copy the files there.

These icons are licensed under the GPLV2+

Cool, you should probably add instructions on how to use the icons too :)

Interesting epub logo, I might steal it for the default icon if you dont mind.

Thanks and as repayment, I'll add support for custom icons to the next calibre release

Whatever will we do with all of our time once the icon debate is mute?

I have no idea :) I'm creating a framework so that all calibre static content icons/templates/translations becomes user replaceable. Thanks to calibre's modular design, all it takes is a couple of hours of work :)

Multi-task.

Thank you very much:2thumbsup
but, can you use this icon set on ms-windows installs of calibre,
lets say on WinXP?
