KDE on them!

-
Oxygen Rocks! (Judging by the poll I have down there), but most of all cause of the people we have on board.
Some months ago the people from the KDE on windows project asked-me for a logo, and I tried several versions and in all of them I failed miserably.
But cause Oxygen is not, a "one men show", Martin Zilz aka Mofux tried to do is thing and... Boy! does he rocks! Enjoy the great stuf he does......

Logo looks fantastic, but isn't it kinda similar to the Windows flag?
(As well as google fav-icon, avg and ms office logo)

Guys, it's the logo for KDE ON WINDOWS. Having the same colours is the darn idea of the logo.

I like it.

The point was to look windows related, since KDE 'blends' directly into windows, and that's a feature in order to make open source software more flexible and popular.

Nice, though it is slightly disturbing to see the KDE logo in these colours...

Er, someone said, that KDE „blends” into Windows? Well, maybe he has some rationale behind it, but in terms of appearance, KDE on Windows fals on the whole line – and default look of it’s applications is totally FUBAR:

@Paweł
maybe those that say so are able to press the button to change the style to something like e.g. http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/gallery-windowsxp.html or to you just suggest to change the default style?

eh, my manners... that icon rocks though I wonder how it looks like if printed black-white (isn't it important for a logo too to be recognized beyond small resolutions and/or colors ?)

@dipesh: "that icon rocks though I wonder how it looks like if printed black-white"
Not to be a party-pooper, but I agree. It needs to be recognizable in monochrome. Other than that issue, it is a good logo.

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

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
