Its the end of the world, and KDE!

-
So KDE is coming to an end :).

I think they got it all wrong, what was finally finished was the 48x48 mimetypes not KDE.
So today I started to kill KDE a bit more :) 32x32 :) enjoy!





Only 227 icons to do in this size :)

I just want to say thank you for your work and patience (that's really a huge number of icons there :) ) - the new icons do make differet user experience having more contrast and details (I don't know if these are the correct terms, because I'm lame in design). Thanks a lot again!

N00bish question:

Why is it necessary to make a 32x32 set? Can't you just render the 48x48 SVGs as 32x32 without loosing quality? What are you doing differently in the different sizes exactly?

Thanks Nuno, the new icons rock!

Have you already planned your new projects?

What about metal icons for the apps buttons?

This is not the exact image I was looking for... I was looking for an image of Kontact with the icons on the left, something like metal, and incrusted in the background of the app :D

I'm a Gnome user, so I am unlikely to see much of your work in use ;). However, I must say I'm impressed by your work, both in terms of quality and one-man effort. I'm especially digging the 48x48 and 32x23 icons.

Congratulations!

@Anonymous because the meaningful elements of an icon need to be visible in all sizes, because the svg scales bu your screen pixels don't, because an outline is one pixel in 256x256 and in 16x16 :) etc, etc...

@Poldark I know what you are talking about... there are many things in going on in the screnshoot you refer 2, most of them are done but some not so much so its not ready yet...

@Berti, and all, thank you so much :D

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 ...

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...
