t was april 2002 when I first started designing a little 48x48 icon and published it at kde-look.org.
It was an alternative “trashcan" for KDE 2. Since then I’ve continued designing icons and started many themes to increase my skills and improve design quality, these were: "Desktop icons", "Sky", "Lush" and finally "Nuvola".
It tooks me more than a year to reach version 1, the more professional, consistent and complete Nuvola theme ever released, it will turn your KDE in an eyecandy colourful desktop.
If you never tryed Nuvola what are you waiting? give it a try! For the others waiting this release since a long time… download Nuvola 1.0 now!
Have fun and enjoy your desktop!

and the kde icon, the official logo has something to do with gears behind it. instead of a blue ball can you make that a 3/4ths of a gear like the official logo?

1:when I started nuvola I was a newbie with vector gfx, so I understanded many things looking to the crystal svg icons.
2:the icon gap beetween nuvola and the default theme (crystal) was impressionant when I started (and still impressionant), so I opted to do a theme that fit well with the existing icons. I'm working alone for my own pleasure and I don't know if I'll never release a version .1 of my themes (nuvola and lush).
About "actions" I like the crystal ones and have done something similar. But if you open Mozilla with the modern theme you'll see that the "crystal" action are the same of mozilla.
I was needing consistent "actions" in SVG format for the gnome version of nuvola that uses SVG files. Next version of gnome (2.4) will have nuvola svg in their extra-theme packages.
About Menu icon I don't think I've to put the original KDE logo since this is not an official theme. Right now I like this icos as it is, but in the future probably I'll try doing a better one.
PS: if u want a differnt theme try my Lush icon theme, is very clean and his style is far from crystal,aqua,noya etc.

It's always an icon on a white rectangle but sometimes the icon is centered and sometines it's on the left.
Some are smaller than others...
All in all it's great but I think that's an important detail to sort out.

Crystal: clear, hard plastic
Noia: opaque, hard plastic
Nuvola: opaque, flexible plastic
I love this texture! Excellent work.

Ciao
Innanzitutto complimenti per l'ottimo lavoro,volevo muoverti una critica, installando il tuo tema ho notato una certa incongruenza tra alcune icone (tipo cd_writer e cd-rom)
alcune hanno i bordi +netti e uno stile +"cartoon" (e probabilmente fanno parte del vecchio tema sky vero?) altre sono +scintillanti(sono quelle svg?) secondo me dovresti continuare con il vecchio stile, le icone sono molto +leggibili e stancano meno la vista credo sia cmq possibile farle con Illustrator.
Ah trovo anche meglio le vecchie cartelle (quelle "piatte") rispetto a quelle nuove.
Secondo me cos

Sky set was much better. I really wish you make it in svg and continue to work on, instead of pretty much fall under iron foot of crystal (sorry, Everaldo, but latest versions of crystals are worst thing ever. At least on my monitor and for my eyes)

ho visitato il link al tuo sito... volevo chiederti che font hai usato nelle immagini con le scritte?? che programma hai usato per creare le immagini?? volevo poi chiederti che effeto hai utilizzato per rendere l'obreggiatura di "devshowcase" nella homepage??
Scusa se ti ho "bombardato" di domande :) mi piace il look che hai dato :)
P.S. riguardo le tue icone, penso che nuvola sia migliore, in quanto a look, rispetto a sky... è una mia opinione, questione di gusto ;)

Le immagini le ho fatte con photoshop, ma sono fattibili con qualsiasi programma di grafica visto che ho usato solo gradienti e trasparenze.

It is a bit sad to hear you will not continue the path of Sky Icons, but of course these will surely appeal to a lot of people (who also like Crystal and XP type Icons)..
I wish some KDE icondesigner would opt for the cleaner / stricter type of icons again. Admittedly Hicolor and the likes were never _very pretty_ but they were clear and nice. The oulining makes things that much better for icons, IMHO..
But, good luck with this set :)

So I'm back to the Sky icon set, although I grabbed the orange folder from this icon set as my "default" folder icon - looks quite nice with my colour scheme ;).
I guess this is the beauty of the KDE icon system. You can choose the best parts from everywhere.

Nuvola just want to fit well with the new look&feel of kde 3, but I'll work akso in other icon themes totally differents from nuvola and sky.
