Today I mostly finished the 256x256 versions of the mime-types, and already started with the 128x128... only 161 to go meaning that today I made (scaled) about 80 icons, a complete record for me.

I usually try to make constructive critics to your work, but this time I can't think of any. They are just right! Is the central icon for object .o files? I think your abstraction is perfect!
Just in case I haven't said anything for a while...you do incredible work. Beautiful and intense.

Very nice work. There are two things I wanted to mention though:
1. The flame around the disc has a strange color in my eyes, the color red is too dark, like blood. I think it would look more like fire if the red was brighter, and some orange/yellow color would be used.
2. There are two applications, KMag and KMouseTool which are installed by default with Kubuntu (I’m not sure if they’re included with KDE itself). It seems the icons of these two applications haven’t gotten the Oxygen treatment yet, so they look quite out of place when you see them in the menu. Hopefully you could fix them?
@Alexander van Loon to 1 well the red is the red of power and also the red of K3B, i kinda like it like that I agree its a bit of a statement but sometimes I think its nice to be a bit edgy.
to 2 only one of me and 1500 icons to do :) kmousetoll not sure its a kde thing. kmag sure need a new icon yes.
@all thank you so much for the kind words

1500 more? Whoa, I’d instantly be craving for vacation if I’d have so much work to do. But 1500 is hard to imagine, the iconset already looks very complete, which icons still need work or are missing?
@Alexander, well the lists are available in playground oxygen.... but on a nutshell 500 for OpenOffice + 400 koffice+ I still how around 100 to scribus+..... many many more its all sorts of software. and obviously oxygen is needing a refresh to the ones that exist now, the best software deserves the best artwork.

I’m not sure whether this is the right place for this, but may I request a mimetype icon for Lilypond? It’s a music sheet engraving program very similar to LaTeX (www.lilypond.org).
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 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 ...
What is raptor? Raptor is a an amazing project i have been working in the last few days. It trays to be a fresh new way of finding your desktop applications, and interacting with its users. It should be very easy to configure it to be in the way you want it to be. And it will display more info about the application, what does it do and what for. You can find more images here and the ground base document here . Join us at #raptor to know more about thsi wonderful project. DIGG
