I assume people don’t just use the current icon image, since it’s a very large file. Do you generally use photoshop/illustrator to chop the file down to exactly what you need? Or is there a simple tool to more easily do this? I saw one article where the author had cut down the image to 65k (http://www.thegooglecache.com/uncategorized/silk-css-using-css-clipping-and-optimized-silk-image/). But that also seems a little large to me for a usable icon set. What’s the best practice here?
Also, is the silk icon set available through a cdn somewhere (something like google’s ajax api)?
ahhh, the preview is 1mb in size but each icon can be used individually if you download the pack
