More frisbees.

Yeah that's what become sooner or later, well some I still have some very old disk's around for media that i care a lot, and I should really make backup copy's of them before time plays a trick on them. Attention you should place them for recycling in the end. ;)

The DVD one now (64x64, and 22x22 need a bit of work..)..... I made some improvements to the other ones btw. The poll running on the side, seems to be getting interesting , with a tight fight between "finishing the icon set" and "working on the widget theme".

P.S. update. after making this post I realized that the DVD logo could use some pixel tweaking in the 64x64 128x128 and 256x256... and here is the result.


As usual you can check the svgz sources for each of them in kde svn, in kdesuport.
Btw if you are wondering were you might find them... type this in your console 'svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/kdesupport/oxygen-icons' of course after installing subversion and going in the console to the place were you wants them to be.

Great stuff!

Really liked what you did for dvd logo and small icons (that turned out to be better than what I was talking about)!

I'm hoping you're gonna do the same for all of these disk icons.

Real nice work, man!

You are a master, can't believe, no one pays you to do this. I'm afraid we will end up losing you to some company that as nothing to do with KDE or open source.

again I think you're breaking trademark!

Just use a generic 'DVD' italic lettering instead of their whole logo.

@ Ian Monroe its obviously "Fair use" of the logos. But I have contacted them is order to sort it out...
Worst case scenario I will remove them, its their loss any way...

@Pinheiro: I think, in that (worst) case, I think a better alternative would be Ian Monroe's suggestion. But only if there's actual trademark bad use (so we still have more information than just disks with colors).

Keep them comming! ;-)

+1 on this; not only is Nuno very talented, but he also seems very humble and pleasant to work with. I wish a FOSS company would snap the guy up :(

I like the current style but sometimes I wish someone would do an icon set like this early oxygen draft:
http://www.oxygen-icons.org/wp-content/themes/oxy/images/figure3.png
especially for small icons. Fresher and more realistic than Tango but not as shiny as the current oxygen...

Anyway, these K3B icons look great and fit the current look. So well done...

The icons look great, but I wonder why there is a tiny black spot on the lower right of the DVD logo. (only visible on the big icons)

@thomas its the TM :)

please... to avoid problems, please do not use the official logos for all that DVD and BD stuff.
Even if your work is covered by a fair use policy - I doubt that it also covers distributors like e.g. Novell - they sell their enterprise product and I guess they would have to apply for a licence which they won't probably get because that kind of software is not licensable.
I'm not really sure, but please do not assume that Open Source is automatically fair use, free (as in beer) etc.

Pinheiro said…
@Robin they are free to remove those icons, we do this right now and did it for a long time, Crystal icon set had the dvd logo the compact disk logo the usb logo the firehire logo etc, etc...
I have contcted the howners of the trademark's in order for me to use them and sign what ever documentation they see fit.
If i get a replay syaing We cant use them I will remove them.
Prety sure I wont remove them its in their hown interest.

I dont think at all that those trademarks bring problems because Mr. Pinheiro does not use them on other purposes than their original meanings, DVD and Blu-Ray disks.

Things would be different if those trademarks would be used on other meanings, like icons for text editor and instant messenger applications.

The DvD icon and the Blu-Ray icons does not mean anything else than the disks here and it is actually a free marketing for those companies.

Congrats, those look beautiful.

But IMHO there's something wrong with the 2nd (updated) set - especially the small ones somehow don't look right.

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

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

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.
