Nuvola (from Italian "cloud", Nuvola as evolution of the SKY icon theme) is a free software icon set under the GNU LGPL 2.1, drawn by David Vignoni. Originally created for desktop environments like KDE and GNOME, it was repackaged for Windows[citation needed] and 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-recognised objects. Most icons are blue, but other colours are present as well.
Uses
Besides KDE and GNOME, Nuvola is used by the Pidgin instant messaging client and the Amarok media player. Nuvola is the default icon set on the OpenLab GNU/Linux distribution.
