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.
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?
Anonymous said…
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?
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 :)

Muito bem, os meus parabens pelo excelente conjunto de icons, ainda por cima feitos aqui na terrinha ;) Keep up the good work!!
The kchart icon looks amazing. It's definitely a step up from the folder icon in oxygen... http://www.oxygen-icons.org/?cat=3#post-10
Nice work. Ben

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!)
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...
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
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.
