'''Nuvola''' (from [[italian language|Italian]] "[[cloud]]", Nuvola as evolution of the SKY icon theme) is a [[free software]] / [[open-source software]] [[icon (computing)|icon]] set drawn by [[David Vignoni]]. Originally created for [[desktop environment]]s like [[KDE]] and [[GNOME]], it was repackaged for [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]]{{fact}} and [[Apple Macintosh|Macintosh]]. The final version, 1.0, contains almost 600 icons. The default set is in the [[PNG]] graphics format; an [[SVG]] version is also available.

The application icons, in particular, colourfully represent a wide variety of commonplace and easily-recognized objects. Most icons are [[blue]], but other colours are present as well.

Some Wikipedia pages, such as [[Wikipedia:Browse]], use mostly Nuvola icons. Wikipedia also maintains a seperate listing of other [[Wikipedia:Icons|free icons]].

It's released under terms of [[GNU LGPL]] 2.1.

== Uses ==
Besides [[KDE]] and [[GNOME]], ''Nuvola'' is used by the [[Gaim]] instant messaging client and the [[amaroK]] media player.
