As long as the last, but better.
Just another small post to show progress on the new mimetypes for the KDE 4.6 :).
I have done about 150 in the 256x256 size and there is about 87 to go....
My original idea was just to update the "paper" but ended up doing a bit more. Hope you like the result.

looks great, nice work!!
One thing though, the mimetype for Database somehow dont look right, compared to the others.
The faded (larger) image in the back is darker than all the others and could need more fading and put more in the background, that would be less distracting.. If you know what I mean?
But like always, all in all a fantasic job! :-)
Obviously .deb should be done before .rpm :)
A slightly off-topic request: you have a python script mimetype, would it be possible to stick the logo you used there under "applications"? I know it is possible to get the logo from their website or something, but since it already being used as part of an icon, would it be very difficult to also include it on its own?
1. The icon with the down pointing arrow (download?) seems to be in a bit different style then the others.
2. Could you please give the folder icons a style update? The current ones are "ok" but looks so simple and boring. Your new icons on the other hand look very nice and nearly "alive"
I really like this work.
I have one question: For PDF documents you use the symbol which is associated with Adobe, why? IMHO it would be great to use something from pdfreaders.org (http://pdfreaders.org/graphics.en.html).
It's similar enough to the Adobe logo to make the connection to a PDF document but doesn't advertise one company/product. PDF is an open standard you don't need the Adobe Reader to read PDF documents.
Please, never stop to collaborate with KDE :D
But anyway, a sort of off-topic/"bug" report about the oxygen theme, I guess (I don't know where would be proper to do it, so I'll try a few places... I think it's not quite a matter of a "real" bug report, like on kde bugzilla...)
The icons to sort things by size (or by anything, but the issue is with sizes) is not used consistently in all applications. For example, in konqueror, to sort by size, by "largest first/on top", the "arrow" (more like an "^") will be pointing up, but in ksysguard, to sort anything by "largest first/on top", the arrow will be pointing down.
This is not only counter intuitive, it's "contradictory". I'd suggest to solve the issue by making a poll somewhere where people answer whether they "feel" that the arrow pointing up or down means (increasing or decreasing order from top to bottom), intuitively, without actually knowing, and set it universally, somehow.
I didn't realize it until some time ago, I just thought it was "counter intuitive", but perhaps I was unconsciously remembering the two different standards from different applications.
I'm using debian, by the way, perhaps that's also a matter of subtle differences on different distributions, as, if I recall, oxygen on Arch looks just a little bit different on some icons (the expand/collapse folders is a ">" instead of a "+", I guess).
Other than that, oxygen is probably the nicest looking theme I ever saw. It's a shame it does not get adequately handled in gnome applications, even with gtk-qt-engine, lots of gradients don't exist on gnome, I guess.
