Burning the small icons

-
Today's post is a very quick one to show yesterdays icon in the small sizes..





Hope you like it, 22x22 still needs a bit of tweaking and maybe oxygen master David Miller will pull some of his usual magic. but for now I'm going to get back to KMix and the rest of k3b icons and theming... I will keep you posted.

I think the icon is too cluttered at such a low resolution. You can hardly recognize it.

I don't agree. I think it looks quite fine in 16x16. It's definitely much better than "show dashboard", which looks terrible in 16x16, small version of trash icons (horrible!) or "device-notifier".
BTW: Nuno, do you know what happened with oxygen icons in KDE SVN? I cannot find them:/.

The problem here is that the disc is so pale and the red is so bold while breaking up the outline, that you very quickly lose having any recognisable disc shape.

Without an easily recognisable disc, the whole point of the icon is lost.

The older K3B icon had flames on the disc, but only on the inside of the disc shape, so it was clearly a circle with a hole in the middle. This is easy to recognise.

The shade of red is really nice, but right now, even the larger versions of this icon are difficult to make out (although this may be better on backgrounds that contrast more with the disc).

If you resize this: http://gawed.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/ghostbusters3.jpg at 16x16, you'll end with the same result :)
Ghostbusters was the 1st thing that came to my mind

Just leave half of the flames on right or left of the icon,and cd needs stronger outline/contrast. Or just leave flames

and my idea to add originality to this icon is to make flames more neonic/laser like

P.S. I love this icon already, wonderful work

Personally, I would prefer to see a little more yellow or orange tones as it is supposed to be fire not blood. Besides of it, that's nice.

Design done...

Hello again, so I believe I am 90% done with the base style direction and main UI components for O², and am currently struggling with my not so bright idea of dinamic QML colour pallets.  Still overall I'm happy with the general visual direction of the UI style, it's IMO clearly derivative of Oxygen but today.  Now having done 90% of the design and doing the serious work I know that the solemn work that will take far far more time is upon me and us..  So in the next week's I will be mostly focussing on the qml implementation that as already started and implementing a kinda Oxygen-demo UI showcase. After that I have to do something even more difficult... That is to find a a icon style that does the same that the UI style above did.. bring to today oxygen of yesterday. And fix any of its issues...

The air we see...

Today the great Marco Committed air into svn. Let me just tell you a bit about air, air is a direct descendant of the air wallpaper, I made the first sketch of it the same day I made the wallpaper, and it tries to make the people that found the Oxygen theme "to black" happy. There is no one fits all design, and hopefully with air we can make a wider spectrum of people love KDE. ( in the future I think we can still make a couple more themes) Its still we hope coherent, there are a lot of small details that are shared with oxygen both qt theme as plasma theme. That gives it a feeling of belonging as part of the same experience. We introduced a brand new element in plasma theming, a cropped background the is placed on the plasmoid canvas, (you will see this in the future taken to new heights as it opens a fantasist new set of opportunities to designers). Its transparent, people love transparent stuff :) (we did some effort to avoid contrast issues, but with certain wallp

Yeah do you want to help us create O². Most of the design concepts are done, but my C++ QtStyle foomagic is lower than zero ;) so muhhhh heee... do you want to help? Janet extraordinaire yesterday helped a bit and adjusted the old Oxygen painting to do a preliminary implementation of the noise O² needs for its background, but that is only the very beginning of what is needed. Also if you have experience in kirigami/plasma, styling. Designers are welcome as well...   If you do...... Just made this https://t.me/OxygenSquared for chatty chatty things.
