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 only thing which struck me is the kchart icon with that 3d pie chart. Maybe you could re-work this chart, as it doesn't really fit with its colours.
i.e. have i∙π instead of i.π (or just write them flush, like e^(iπ))
But again, amazing work!

Simply awesome!!! Congratulations, I loved the part about the 4 freedoms.
Hehe, together with the pie chart colors the e^(i*pi) thing was among the first things I noticed as well.

Regarding the colours of the chart in kchart, more harmonious triple of hues is definitely needed.
In the blackboard formula, the dot has to be the "centre-dot", not on the baseline of the superscript (actually, almost everyone writing by hand would write the exponent πi or perhaps iπ, as already pointed out above).
Also, the calendar page in the kplato icon is visually quite a bit smaller than the lower-right corner elements of most other icons. I feel that desaturating the green stripe would help the appearance as well.
Thank you!

I will try to impove the icons in the future, I agrea with most of teh remarks made
I especially like the golden pen in the KWord icon.

They look great!
Enhorabuena!
Keep up the great work.
In any event, all of this is splitting hairs. Outstanding work, I can't wait to see it in production.
Cool stuff on these icons...
