+Evolution Icons
+===============
+
+Licensing
+---------
+
+FIXME: add license info here.
+
+
+Adding Icons
+------------
+
+Icons that are meant to someday be themeable MUST be for one or more
+of the following sizes:
+
+- 16x16
+- 18x18
+- 20x20
+- 24x24
+- 32x32
+- 48x48
+
+(the following sizes may also be added for use with window
+decorations: 64x64 and 128x128)
+
+All icons should be named consistantly and be placed within the proper
+subdir that corresponds to their size (if the subdir does not yet
+exist, because no icons have been made for that size - then create the
+subdir and add it to the build as well).
+
+If it is expected that the icon(s) you've created will make it into
+the GNOME icon themes package at some point (or is already there?),
+then you will want to name your icons accordingly so that if the user
+installs a GNOME icons theme package with the appropriate icon(s),
+then he or she will see those icons rather than the ones installed by
+default with Evolution.
+
+The icons within the WWxHH subdirs will ONLY be used if they cnnot be
+found in the theme.
+
+The ONLY image files that may be placed in the toplevel art/ srcdir
+(eg. *this* dir) are xpm files that are built into the Evolution binary
+(or libs) and/or are not meant to be used as "icons".
