They look great, but it is too bad the SVG icons are not SVG tiny compliant. They would look really good on my mobile. :)

Keep up the good work!

The action icons seems to have gone even further away from symbols and more to real items and/or actions.

The text below the preview states there is a noticeable outline, I didn't notice it on the colorpicker and the clip until I look closely.

Overall the work is _looking_ more neat, but the original Ideas I read about which really got me excited (color coded icons, sub-actions on hover, preview actions when dragging and not dropping, animated on hover) doesn't show at all.

It's good working, just don't forget that if the symbolics fail, the icons are useless to the user. Make sure it's easily recognizable and that users quickly associate it as symbols, not images.

Love the straight looking folders. I can just imagine the dominate mimetype being displayed in between the folder, sticking out on the righthand and top side while partialy alpha masked by the front of the folder.


And when you call up properties on a folder there being being three layers of user addible objects: behind, inside and in-front of the folder. That you can replace the white sheet with a selection of a photo from inside the folder and then like a real folder the name would be Birthday and the folder icon would contain a picture of a birthday cake cropped from the actual 'candle blowing photograph' inside the directory.

These icons are really great. The designers nowadays are really thinking out of the box. The designs just keep on getting better and better. Great site anyway.

I have a question!

Hopefully in the next few days I should have a Usability test that I have been working on with Björn Balazs from apliki.de on the K3B icons in that study I will pose the same question I'm about to pose now. And hopefully a few more options, that will come from the feedback of this post. So the question is...... "Data cd" 1 or 2?.... 1 2 Don't think to hard, just fire the first thing that pops in your mind, that is the best way to judge a icon IMO..also if you have an better idea please share...I will try to include it in the usability test. P.S Ofcourse the numbers will have to be redone for each size and the document as well... Its one source file for each icon. meaning this one = 14 files 7 png's and 7 svgz's.

Air and KDE 4.3.

Air was the wallpaper we introduced in KDE 4.2, but that is just the beginning of something larger. Air is supposed to be different than what Oxygen is, something that tries to appeal to a user base looking for a more "sexy" experience than Oxygen (yeah I know you are out there :) ), but to still have the capability of merging nicely with what we have now. The first thing we started working on was a Plasma theme. Plasma, with it's immense plasticity and a fantastic coder team, allows us to try to push for new ideas. Another extremely cool thing about Plasma is it's ability to become anything you want it to be. So a user in KDE 4.3 might have a desktop that looks like this, if that is his wish, without having to use external software: (click for fullscreen mode) This is an example of how simple one can make a desktop in the 4.3 Plasma once we all manage to get all of our plans working. The new systray speck will help, the work being done on the task bar will allow you ...
