About

The Silk icon pack, as available on famfamfam website., _(*3)

All credits for these icons go to their original author: Mark James (mjames@gmail.com), _(*4)

The aim of this project is to make this icon pack available through various package managers, such as:, _(*5)

• NPM
• Bower
• Packagist
• NuGet

All icons are supplied in PNG format., _(*6)

CSS spritesheets

You can insert the icons directly into your HTML with a common IMG tag:, _(*7)

<img alt="Delete" src="dist/png/key_delete.png" width="16" height="16">

In addition to the icons by themselves, this project also ships a CSS spritesheet for the icon-pack. This spritesheet allows to load the entire icon-pack in just 1 image, and thus reduce HTTP calls., _(*8)

This is what it actually looks:, _(*9)

, _(*10)

All the positioning of the icons inside this alone image is made through CSS, which allows you to just add block-type tags with the proper class and get the same result:, _(*11)

<div class="famfamfam-silk key_delete"></div>

Just remember to add the CSS stylesheet to the HEAD of your HTML page!, _(*12)

Build the whole project or your custom project

We use Gulp to build the project, so if you want to re-build or customize this project, you'll need Gulp., _(*17)

After gulp is installed, and your CLI is pointed to your work directory, first install the dependencies:, _(*18)

with NPM 2.x.x, _(*19)

npm install, _(*20)

with NPM 3.x.x (resolve dependencies for node-spritesheet before this module's ones), _(*21)

npm install grunt grunt-contrib-coffee grunt-contrib-clean, _(*22)

npm install, _(*23)

then be sure that you have ImageMagick installed for building spritesheet., _(*24)

then, you can run the gulp build task to build the project:, _(*25)

gulp build, _(*26)

What the build task does?

First, it takes PNG files from the src folder, and pastes them to the dist folder., _(*27)

Then it creates a spritesheet from the PNG images located in the src folder, and thus creates the sprite folder in dist., _(*28)

If, for example you just want application_put and monitor_edit icons in a spritesheet, you just have to fork this project, point your CLI to the working directory, empty the src directory, except application_put and monitor_edit icons in PNG format, and then run the gulp build task., _(*29)

You'll get the proper spritesheet and copies of the icons directly in the dist folder., _(*30)
