FileZilla 3 Icon set specification

## Introduction

This document describes the requirements for icon sets in FileZilla 3.

Please remember that if you want to create an icon set for FileZilla, that you should be available to update the icon set in the future when additional icon are added to the requirements. Otherwise the default icons will be used for the missing icons and eventually your theme willbe removed once it becomes too outdated.

## Requirements

Since FileZilla is Free Software, the same has to apply to all artwork used in FileZilla. This means that all artwork has to be published under the GPL or a GPL compatible license. Note that the Creative Commons Attribution license is not compatible with the GPL.

### Icon sizes

To improve accessibility of the software, the icons should be available in different sizes. Despite a few exception (see below), there are no restrictions regarding the icon size.

The most commonly sizes used for icons are:

- 16x16 (the default icon size used by FileZilla)
- 32x32
- 48x48

The following icons have to be available in 16x16 (see further below what the icons should mean):

- ascii.png
- auto.png
- binary.png
- file.png
- folder.png
- folderclosed.png
- download.png
- downloadadd.png
- lock.png
- upload.png
- uploadadd.png
- server.png

The following icons have to be available in 32x32:

- file.png

It is important, that the icons are good-looking in all those sizes. Especialy the smallest icon size should not look blurred

### Color depth

Regarding the used color-depth there is no limitation.

### File format

As fileformat for the icons, the png format has to be used. For each provided size there has to be a subdirectory with the size as name ("16x16" for example) containing all icons in the corresponding size.

In addition to the files for the different sizes, each icon should be available in a vector based format (e.g. SVG) as well, so that differently sized icons can be generated quickly.

Each icon set should follow a theme, the icons should match nicely. Also, the function of the icon has to be easily recognizeable.
