Small update.

-
This is almost a identi.ca "dent" just to show the progress on the optical-media-video.

I hope I have all of the k3b icon set done by the end of this week.

On the fonts front i had a lot of positive feed back on this issue but its not easy convincing every one so please if you have a little bit of time try my proposed settings... and share your opinions. One major advice i want to give distros is to make sure sub pixel RGB aa is off. IMO its very discuss-able if it does produces better results and you are not sure your user is using a RGB vertical TFT.

They look very good, it is grate!

The small icons are a bit odd, but I know it is difficult to draw such small things :)


I don't know if the Kid3 developers like there icon, it has still this old KDE 3 / crystal style.
Would you like to make an oxygen icon for Kid3?

Two things:

-Please make the smallest icons look slicker---ex. places panel icons in Dolphin: they look jittery which makes it very ugly. I don't see why you can't make it. If gnome made it, why can't KDE/Oxygen if it is sporting high definition icons...

-Please improve the oxygen's context menu look and feel. It looks fat and clunky...

I second that (about small icons) and I wanted to thank you for fonts tip, they look much, much better. But despite what you said, it's important to use Liberation Sans, because it has good hinting and I get much better results with Liberation Sans than I got with my previous DejaVu Sans fonts. It took me a hour or two to get use to new fonts, but man, my eyes loves it:].
Thanks for all good work (altough I still cry;) for better small icons, especially trash icons)

I like them, and also the small icon. First though was "damn, even the smallest icon, it immediately looks like a video cd". Keep up the good work, you rock dude :p

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.
