Kig is a program for exploring geometric constructions.

Some times I decide to kill one of the numerous elements we have in techbase missing icons list, today I finished Kig.
Hope you guys like it.

O and BTW I might be going to the desktop summit in Gran Canaria so here it goes ...

Wow! Great Icon!

btw, isn't the "to" missing in the Desktop Summit picture? Currently it only reads "I'm going Gran Canaria Desktop Summit"

In that page I can see that KMix icon is missing, but it's one of the most "used" icons. Please, pretty please, create a new one! I don't like the current one...

pretty!

but, I'm not really sure about the upper part of the cube: it's blue-white-ish and looks gorgeous over the black "blackboard?" but I cannot really see it when it overflow in the white border and over too...
can you darken/shrink/overglow/do some magik with the cube border?

Hi!

I like it. I only have a doubt: the cube is isometric while the tablet under it is in perspective. Wouldn't it be better to draw also the cube in perspective?

By the way, congrats for all your great work!

I'd suggest a different color than black for the background, the small icon resembles a system monitor, otherwise it looks nice :)

@Mario you are totaly right and that's how I started the cube, but due to the fact that angle was to small i was having a lot of AA isuses and like this its way sharper that is very important in icon making.

@zed
Yeah the color could be difrent but this ones look soo good that I keept them. I made the cone to have atleast one that surely worked.

@blueget yeah the "to" I fight alot with the fonts there so i could make it look nice enough... in the end this was the only thing that worked. I had to kill the to
the way is suposed to be read is
desktop sumit, I'm going.

Kig is 2D geometry simulation program, or am I mistaken?

That is 3D icon is a little bit misleading for it isn't it?

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

Do you like code? do you like art? Do you love KDE?

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.
