You can use the Icon sets for KDE and Gnome as well – they have some great icons. Also, they are under a free license – so you don’t have to worry about royalty.

Thanks so much for this valuable icons.
I’m about to build my site, would you tell me how I can save transparency on PNG icons?, the result from photoshop cs3 is just a solid black silhouette behind my image, when I need a gradient silhouette as a shadow.

The silk icon set from famfamfam is the best set in this list. Even dropbox uses those icons on their site. I use them too on several of my sites including http://www.playitontheweb.com/ because they’re just so fantastic.
