Hi, tl;dr okay to remove Calligra app icons from oxygen iconset?
(follow-ups only to [email protected], thanks) For the upcoming 2.6 release Calligra has been giving its apps some new, slightly refined app icons (hi*-app-*.*). Problem now is, the oxygen iconset also contains icons for at least those apps which had not been renamed in the last two years (karbon, kexi, krita)... Cmp. e.g. http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/kdesupport/oxygen-icons/32x32/apps/ Which results in the fact that the new ones from Calligra will not be used, due to being shadowed by those in the oxygen-iconset. Not what is wanted by the Calligra devs, as you can imagine :) Solution 1: simply update the icons in the oxygen iconset That has the problem that Calligra is not part of the SC, and has as min. KDE Platform dependency something old (even 4.3, well, known are at least users that use the latest Calligra with KDE Platform 4.6). So no solution with regards to them. Solution 2: install the app icons with a "calligra" prefix, e.g. calligrakexi Solves the shadowing by the icons in the oxygen-iconset, by now longer having matching names. But that makes the icons in the oxygen-iconset useless, as nothing will use them then. Any better ideas? To ensure consistent app icons the Calligra devs are currently considering solution 2 for the upcoming 2.6 release. But as said, this also means that the icons in the oxygen iconset are no longer needed and just bloat the size of the iconset. So I would propose to remove these icons from trunk/kdesupport/oxygen-icons: oxygen-icons/48x48/apps/karbon.png oxygen-icons/48x48/apps/kexi.png oxygen-icons/48x48/apps/krita.png oxygen-icons/128x128/apps/karbon.png oxygen-icons/128x128/apps/kexi.png oxygen-icons/128x128/apps/krita.png oxygen-icons/64x64/apps/karbon.png oxygen-icons/64x64/apps/kexi.png oxygen-icons/64x64/apps/krita.png oxygen-icons/22x22/apps/kexi.png oxygen-icons/22x22/apps/krita.png oxygen-icons/32x32/apps/karbon.png oxygen-icons/32x32/apps/kexi.png oxygen-icons/32x32/apps/krita.png oxygen-icons/16x16/apps/karbon.png oxygen-icons/16x16/apps/kexi.png oxygen-icons/16x16/apps/krita.png oxygen-icons/256x256/apps/karbon.png oxygen-icons/256x256/apps/kexi.png oxygen-icons/256x256/apps/krita.png Maybe even from the 4.10 branch. Does it make sense to have icons for non-SC apps in the basic oxygen-iconset at all? Looking at the sources I see that there are icons for a few for them, so it seems for most apps it is no problem at all to serve their own app icons, which will usually be in oxygen style anyway. Thoughts, opinions? Cheers Friedrich _______________________________________________ calligra-devel mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/calligra-devel
