Hi

I’m looking for a FOSS app to design icons

I heard of GIMP , Kirta and Inkscape ,are there other alternatives ? and which one of them is the best for this ?

Thanks

    I like to write SVG by hand with a text editor and Firefox, but that’s probably not for most people.
    I mainly like it, because you’re entering all the coordinates as numbers, which makes ratios more apparent and also easy to work with…

      The advantage here is that you can start baking in animations, themes, progressive enhancements. I would agree this isn’t the best tool for most authoring, but considering tow lackluster the XML editor is in Inkscape & how break points can make sure your icon is clear at all sizes, it is a good idea to spend time in a text editor as well.
