This is a great background! Did you use GIMP or Inkscape to draw multiple layers? If so, could you upload the .xcf or .svg file? Thanks! - Nov 08 2006

WOW! I think these icons are so good, they could integrate very well with the upcoming Oxygen Icon Theme (http://oxygen-icons.org/) that will be the default in KDE4.

I highly encourage you to contact the Oxygen Theme developers and try to work together in order to avoid duplicating work. If all works out well, your icons might appear on every computer that runs KDE! - Apr 21 2006

You should get in contact with Sandro Giessl (http://sandro.giessl.com), author or the Plastik theme, since he is working on a new SVG-based theme called Cokoon (http://websvn.kde.org/branches/work/kde4/playground/artwork/cokoon/) that will be included in KDE4. - Mar 25 2006

These look very good, and similar to what the KDE Appeal project:

http://appeal.kde.org/wiki/Oxygen

has in mind for the Oxygen theme that's probably going to be the default in KDE 4.

I suggest you get in contact with them and work together! - Oct 04 2005

Wow, that's a really good idea! I doubt people will notice the difference between Gaussian and Shift blurring. - Jul 20 2005

The text is meant to make it easier for users to understand what the icon represents. The triangle under menu icon points up to where the menu will slide out when the icon is clicked. - Jul 19 2005

This is so good, I wouldn't be surprised if SUSE wanted to include it in their default distribution.

Thanks for the links! So I guess true transparency on window decorations is still some ways away.

Also, for shadows, I'm enabling Kompmgr that came with KDE 3.4, and it works OK (although a bit slow). - Jul 09 2005

How did you get the window header to be translucent? Last I checked that's still on the Kwin wishlist:

It would be a welcome surprise if this has already been implemented! - Jul 06 2005

These icons are extremely well thought-out and neatly drawn. Congrats!

I know the purpose of this icon set is be predominantely black and white, but I think it would be optimal if you added (sparingly) some color, like you did with cdimage.png (yellow CD) or exec_wine.png (Windows logo).

Also, the contrast in the header (for example, "SOURCE" in source_c.png) is so low that one really can't read it, IMHO. Try making the writing lighter.

Other than that, it's awesome! - Jul 09 2005

Session applet

Thanks for doing this! KDE really needs a well-thoughout session manager if it is to become a functional multi-user desktop.

Following are some suggestions for how to make the session manager easy to use:

1) Split the dropdown list vertically into two sides: the left side contains the user's icon (or photo!) and the right side contains the user's full name (not username, that's too cryptical).

2) The first item in the dropdown list contains the key-lock icon on the left side and "Lock Session" on the right side.

3) Remove the "Log In" item since all users of the system are already listed (see #1). All that needs to be done to log in as that user is to click on the appropriate user.

4) Remove the "Other Sessions" and "Current Sessions" labels since they are not needed. It is already understood that the "Lock Session" will lock the current session.

5) Remove the "Lock Current Session on Switch" item since it doesn't belong there: that option should be turned on by default and configurable from the Control Center.

5) When the mouse is over a user, the right side (which before contained the user's full name) will be split horizontally into two pieces: the top piece will contain the user's full name, and the bottom piece will contain the username.

You might be asking where the Shutdown item went. Well I think it deserves an applet of its own since it itself has multiple options: Logout, Turn off, Restart, Suspend. The two applets (Switch User and Shutdown) can be stacked on top of each other in the panel very nicely. When the icon of one of the applets is clicked, a dropdown menu will appear containing the appropriate options.

Please let me know what you think of these ideas - I'd be happy to clarify them if needed. - Jul 06 2005

I love this wallpaper because it's brightness is pretty uniform, so white letters and light icons are visible no matter where they are dragged on the desktop. Plus, this wallpaper is really professional and easy on the eyes.

However, I was wondering whether you could come up with a version *without* the horizontal lines. This is because they tend to remind me of broken CRT monitors that have horizontal lines flowing through the screen. - Jun 13 2005

Might be worth taking a look at http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94865 and
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94858

I agree, the default should open to the user's home directory, but at the same time the user should be able to discover the network protocols by having the abilty to add them to their tree-view.

Konqueror should be smart enough to include network protocols that are already in use (for example, Samba or NFS shares that are already mounted), and at the same time give the user the ability to add new protocols. - Jan 21 2005
