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 ...
Small Small icons are important we know that. KDE apps are important. But also important is desktop integration with non kde apps like scribus.

Seems I can finally stop adding to Tango's KDE-related set.
Btw will there be an oxygen icon set for OpenOffice like the Crystal one that is included atm?
Daniel that arrow is just one of the many arrows we have to think about using its not certain that we will use it.
I did that arrow after making the small ones you see there and them trying t recapture its shape and style.
- Other than this, nice work!
