More office icons!

Image
Lately, like for the last 2 months or so I have been doing 1 or 2 icons before going to bed for one of the list of icons I have in my todo, and that work's! Those lists are gueting smaller and smaller, Scribus list for example is completed in what was the pure freedesktops extended list. (I'm now doing the other ones). Also the list for kdevelop is going well and should be done soonish. But we have another list that we are just starting to make, the koffice list, me and mostly Dario Andres (known for is work at bugs.kde.org the bugtracker and the crash handlert). And just because oxygen is such a complete theme we found out that about 50% of those icons are already done without moving a finger or in this case a cursor :). But some times its does not work like that. This night was doing some office icons for Scribus, this ones.... The first one is crop and the second is a updater of text frames via external to the document a text element. Because crop is also used in koffice I

Seams most people think this is a better metaphor than the one I provided. Cool! So in the same place as last time we now are featuring a new test for kdevelop There are some changes made in the test, now it includes 5 languages so that language differences and localization can be addressed better than in the K3b study, also I'm really not expecting extremely high good results one this one because its extremely abstract concepts, and maybe only people that work with IDE's can tell the difference any way as usual every one is invited to take the test and there are no wrong answers. Also let me send a special thanks to every one that helped me setting up
