+ <title>Overview</title>
+ <para>
+ The Icon Theme Specification has been in use now for a while, in several
+ desktops, including KDE and Gnome. However, there has never been any
+ centralized direction on how to name the icons that are available for use
+ by applications, when creating a theme. This has meant that artists have
+ historically had to duplicate many icons, in order for their themes to
+ work across desktop environments.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ This specification aims to solve this problem, by laying out a standard
+ naming scheme for icon creation, as well as providing a minimal list of
+ must have icons, and a larger list with many more examples to help with
+ the creation of extended icons for third party applications, devices,
+ and new MIME types.

+ <title>Icon Naming Guidelines</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Here we define some guidelines for when creating new icons that extend
+ the standardized list of icon names defined here, in order to provide
+ icons for more specific MIME types, devices, or international flags.
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Icon names are in the en_US.US_ASCII locale. This means that the
+ allowable characters in the icon names, must fall withing the
+ US-ASCII character set. As a further restriction, all icon names
+ may only contain lowercase letters, numbers, underscore, dash, or
+ period characters. Spaces, colons, slashes, and backslashes are
+ not allowed. Also, icon names must be spelled as they are in the
+ en_US dictionary.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The dash <quote>-</quote> character is used to separate levels of
+ specificity in icon names, for all contexts other than MimeTypes.
+ For instance, we use <quote>input-mouse</quote> as the generic
+ item for all mouse devices, and we use
+ <quote>input-mouse-usb</quote> for a USB mouse device. However,
+ if the more specific item does not exist in the current theme, and
+ does exist in a parent theme, the generic icon from the current
+ theme is preferred, in order to keep consistent style.

+ <title>Standard Icon Names</title>
