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.

I must say I like the icons very much but for example the mimetype icons (they are way to small to see the difference between them) and shutdown/restart/logon as new user icons were all very similiar and not much meaningful, I'd be totaly lost if there would be no text under each icon discribing what it means. Same goes for the instant messenger icons that were available to choose from. Or the undo/redo icons, the curved approach looks very strange to me.
Perhaps you should consider adding an option "I can't decide which to choose" or "They all look very much the same to me".
I hope you understand this as constructive critism, I'm really looking forward to Oxygen! Thanks for your hard work.
My guess would be that for Arabic and Japanese, left may not always mean "before" or "prior", but from the personal data you collect, you may have some noise in this info.
