KDE Pinheiro

KDE 4.0 was just released today, Congrats to us all :) (400 pixel banner version here for people with small blog's :P) Next on my to do list: Making Planet kde restyle work. Dot kde restyle. (ideas more than welcome, ongoing brainstorm going on on #oxygen). Make the Raptor-menu. org site..... Start finishing the Scribus icon set. Begin of the open-office/koffice icon set This should keep us busy for the next month or so :).

Oxygen was created, well officially for me it was :). The first members were at the time was Me, David Vignony ,and Kenneth Wimer. It was set with, (what we thought at the time) an ambitious task, create a new icon theme for the upcoming KDE 4. With time the first icons were created and step by step an icon theme was born. But we did not liked it much and we redid it. and then redid it again, and again, and then we thought it was a god time to show the world our work and we did it all over again. From the initial set of icons i think none remains the same. Opening our project to the world brought new challenges. And we started doing more KDE related artwork like the web pages. and then We started wondering if we could try to do a widget theme for KDE. and so did we:) And a cursor theme, and a sound theme and a new entire look for kde 4.0, and new ideas on how to interact with the desktop. And icons for applications that are not even on KDE. And this and that. And like the icons them...

Decided to try to please girls with a theme for them. We are still working on the color scheme and the plasmas theme is really just a svg idea right now, but any way I decided to share it with all of you boys and girls . link to wallpaper (mail me if you want the svg)

Some times people ask me what I do. My answer is .... well I'm a Civil Engineer. I do bridges an stuff like that mostly scaffolding. But in reality I'm more of a Resources Manager. But as i spend so much time in front of a computer making artwork I must call myself an Artist or Designer. So hi from a Civil Engineer/ Resources Manager/Artist/Designer. :) You would not believe the places were I have drawn icons :)

Vlad EOS wallpaper became default, one of the things that was keeping us down from doing that was moire problems we might have wen scaling it, but has we hade versions for every size in this world, it was only a mater of the selector in plasma getting the wright one, ruphy will take care of that. the other problem was making it an svg..... so we could use it inside icons in order for people to relate the icons to desktop. So today i decide to try to push inkscape to the limit, and so i did and in doing so i created this. Had to remove the decorative lines in order to have no moire problems but i guess its pretty simple and similar to Vlad original work. svgz Yes only 3.8 kb :) use latest inkscape compiled from source.

I don't have the final wallpapers to announce today, only tomorrow. But I will let you have, totally for free, one I did today. ;)

Vlad from http://www.vladstudio.com was one of the contestants to great oxygen wallpaper contest, and provide us with great wallpapers, not all of them got in the final list that will be publicly announced very very soon (we got all the ok's form the creators). One of his submitted wallpapers was, this great image , we didn't considered it much of a KDE wallpaper, but its a kick ass oxygen wallpaper, So we decided to ask Vlad if even not making the final cut, if we could use it?
