A clock in mid Air!!
So the last few days I haven't been able to do any real icon work because i have been busy with real life work , and prepping the artwork for the 4.3 release. That mens playing with plasma stuff and helping Marco Martin do his magic... So we reworked the plasma air theme so its more air theme and less oxygen... they go anlong very nicly together but they should not use the same elements :).
Marco is working on the really not so fun part of the task bar and panel, were me I got the clock part :) aka "the easy one" :).
Here you have a mock svg (final thing should be almost exactly the same ).

However - enormous style!
Best wishes, Podstavsky.
Otherwise, very good (and promising for 4.3) job :)
I have just seen some of these changes on the theme on trunk now... It is very beautiful indeed.
Keep up the excellent work...
The button shapes and curves are much more reminiscent of the Oxygen style itself. Matches very well, aesthetically.
Blue highlights on blue are not effective at all.
That is the only consistent problem I have seen. Light blue on light blue is obviously invisible, whether it's used for a button highlight or a window shadow.
It kind of sticks out too much of the rest of the Air style.
That said, I really like your designs even this one, maybe it would fit better with another style.
keep it up nuno, it's always fantastic to see a post of you in the planet...
Looks like 4.3 will rock hard.
Btw, can we now place plasmoid inside the system tray as in the screenshot?
sorry if forget this comment: "looks like vista/seven/osX/gnome4/BT" /ironic
i was wandering what could be better design for the clock than the current one....
this is amazing....
great work....!!!
What about the other more dock like taskbar? is it going to be included in 4.3?
Even that I watched the screenshot in fullsize 10 seconds I got few hesitates about the hour hand is top and not on right.
I think hour hand needs some polishing.
I believe that the analog clock should be designed such manner you can just place it to your screen about 3-4 cm size and still recognize the time when looking it 2-3 meter away. If it is needed to scale bigger than that just to see time when you are near computer, it loose its meaning :-(
Do agree with others that the clock hands near to be more dissimilar
Pointer of hours are a bit too long and panel recalls the Windows 7 panel. (characterized by a dark line with white underneath)
Why not do both?
