KDE on them!

-
Oxygen Rocks! (Judging by the poll I have down there), but most of all cause of the people we have on board.
Some months ago the people from the KDE on windows project asked-me for a logo, and I tried several versions and in all of them I failed miserably.
But cause Oxygen is not, a "one men show", Martin Zilz aka Mofux tried to do is thing and... Boy! does he rocks! Enjoy the great stuf he does......

Logo looks fantastic, but isn't it kinda similar to the Windows flag?
(As well as google fav-icon, avg and ms office logo)

Guys, it's the logo for KDE ON WINDOWS. Having the same colours is the darn idea of the logo.

I like it.

The point was to look windows related, since KDE 'blends' directly into windows, and that's a feature in order to make open source software more flexible and popular.

Nice, though it is slightly disturbing to see the KDE logo in these colours...

Er, someone said, that KDE „blends” into Windows? Well, maybe he has some rationale behind it, but in terms of appearance, KDE on Windows fals on the whole line – and default look of it’s applications is totally FUBAR:

@Paweł
maybe those that say so are able to press the button to change the style to something like e.g. http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/gallery-windowsxp.html or to you just suggest to change the default style?

eh, my manners... that icon rocks though I wonder how it looks like if printed black-white (isn't it important for a logo too to be recognized beyond small resolutions and/or colors ?)

@dipesh: "that icon rocks though I wonder how it looks like if printed black-white"
Not to be a party-pooper, but I agree. It needs to be recognizable in monochrome. Other than that issue, it is a good logo.

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.
