Kig is a program for exploring geometric constructions.

Some times I decide to kill one of the numerous elements we have in techbase missing icons list, today I finished Kig.
Hope you guys like it.

O and BTW I might be going to the desktop summit in Gran Canaria so here it goes ...

Wow! Great Icon!

btw, isn't the "to" missing in the Desktop Summit picture? Currently it only reads "I'm going Gran Canaria Desktop Summit"

In that page I can see that KMix icon is missing, but it's one of the most "used" icons. Please, pretty please, create a new one! I don't like the current one...

pretty!

but, I'm not really sure about the upper part of the cube: it's blue-white-ish and looks gorgeous over the black "blackboard?" but I cannot really see it when it overflow in the white border and over too...
can you darken/shrink/overglow/do some magik with the cube border?

Hi!

I like it. I only have a doubt: the cube is isometric while the tablet under it is in perspective. Wouldn't it be better to draw also the cube in perspective?

By the way, congrats for all your great work!

I'd suggest a different color than black for the background, the small icon resembles a system monitor, otherwise it looks nice :)

@Mario you are totaly right and that's how I started the cube, but due to the fact that angle was to small i was having a lot of AA isuses and like this its way sharper that is very important in icon making.

@zed
Yeah the color could be difrent but this ones look soo good that I keept them. I made the cone to have atleast one that surely worked.

@blueget yeah the "to" I fight alot with the fonts there so i could make it look nice enough... in the end this was the only thing that worked. I had to kill the to
the way is suposed to be read is
desktop sumit, I'm going.

Kig is 2D geometry simulation program, or am I mistaken?

That is 3D icon is a little bit misleading for it isn't it?

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.

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 ...
