Its the end of the world, and KDE!

So KDE is coming to an end :).

I think they got it all wrong, what was finally finished was the 48x48 mimetypes not KDE.
So today I started to kill KDE a bit more :) 32x32 :) enjoy!





Only 227 icons to do in this size :)

I just want to say thank you for your work and patience (that's really a huge number of icons there :) ) - the new icons do make differet user experience having more contrast and details (I don't know if these are the correct terms, because I'm lame in design). Thanks a lot again!

N00bish question:

Why is it necessary to make a 32x32 set? Can't you just render the 48x48 SVGs as 32x32 without loosing quality? What are you doing differently in the different sizes exactly?

Thanks Nuno, the new icons rock!

Have you already planned your new projects?

What about metal icons for the apps buttons?

This is not the exact image I was looking for... I was looking for an image of Kontact with the icons on the left, something like metal, and incrusted in the background of the app :D

I'm a Gnome user, so I am unlikely to see much of your work in use ;). However, I must say I'm impressed by your work, both in terms of quality and one-man effort. I'm especially digging the 48x48 and 32x23 icons.

Congratulations!

@Anonymous because the meaningful elements of an icon need to be visible in all sizes, because the svg scales bu your screen pixels don't, because an outline is one pixel in 256x256 and in 16x16 :) etc, etc...

@Poldark I know what you are talking about... there are many things in going on in the screnshoot you refer 2, most of them are done but some not so much so its not ready yet...

@Berti, and all, thank you so much :D

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.
