Looks great - and I like the transparency on the kchart icon.
Hopefully this is also what it will look like in the real graph/chart in the document, but this is probably dependent on graphics/programming stuff.

Though the colours on the kchart icon look a bit dark - could be a bit more vibrant and lighter (e.g. the green like the green from the music notes).

I do like this version of the MIDI-file icon more! As In Real Life, the piano generally goes underneath the music notes. Excellent

I am wondering about the krita icon. If krita finally supports openraster then the mime type should be different.

Yes, the MIDI icon looks much better that way. These icons are beautiful. The Krita icon is very original, and I love it.

The oxygen icons continue to blow me away. I especially like the kchart icon. The midi icon looks much better with the keys on the bottom instead of the top.

Keep up the great work!

To annonymous #3, even with OpenRaster, Krita will still have its own mimetype. And of course, the OpenRaster mimetype icon would need to be different, but I really doubt it should be the priority of the Oxygen team ;)

awesome icons. suggestion - could you have the stripes krita icon fade out? that'd look a lot more paintbrushy than how it is now.

keep the great cool work going!

Nice icons, keep up the good work!

One question, though:
Will the 16x16 versions of these icons be just scaled versions of the same or will there be separate design for them?

yes 16x16 they will be worked out.
Its one of the things we have improved a lot latly thanks to D. Miller work.
As an exemple the kchart icon almost needs no change, the mime's needs alot of work on the paper.

The structure of the icons ins svn is like, this we have source svg file and then a small directory for the 16x16 svg file and 22x22 svg file. And some 32x32 and 48x48 are also worked out. keybord for example.

Just a quick thought - would it be nice to have colour consistency in all the koffice app icons - kchart has green, blue, red; krita has green, blue, pink? I don't know if you have icons for kword, kspread etc yet?

Anyway, these look great

Gorgeous, KChart makes me want to eat gummi bears. However, as someone who's spent time "watching paint dry" :-), the krita brush strokes aren't quite right. In an actual brush stroke, there's a ridge of paint at the very start of the stroke, and there may be a pool of paint right at the brush tip, but there's never a band of paint a fifth of the way in as you've drawn. So the three colors don't look like brush strokes, they look like metallic textures or jar lids.

about using realistic brush strokes.
frist realistick brush strokes scale rely poorly this way the image you see in the small version is the same os this big one.
second i wanted to make somthing that is not actualy a stroke but a stroke meets pallete meets somthing only a powerfull app like krita can make.

The two notes likely should be moved a pixel up at the resolution of the preview shots. As right now the "E" and the "B" notes have a tendency to be almost an "D" or an "A".

Looks awesome otherwise :)

The kchart icon looks amazing. It's definitely a step up from the folder icon in oxygen...

the icons look great, i would just change the color of hair of the brush from white to light beige, because if they are white, they blend with the background

I have a strange feeling about krita icon too. I feel too much "symmetry" for a creative app. It seems an icon more suitable for a CAD.

Have you tried to make the green strip shorter, to give an idea of "action" to the brush, and break a bit this symmetry?

(btw you have really done a great work for this and the other icons!)

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.

-
Image
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 ...

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...
