i basically agree on all points, as probably i already said, the way i would like more is: -still identicons as default, the set of round ones you posted would be a good improvement already -in the activity configuration, there would be something that looks like a combobox to chose icons, that shows just the set of "20 good ones" or an "other..." option -chosing one of the 20 would still compose it with the colored ball -chosing other would pop up the usual icon selection dialog, the icon wouldn't be no longer composed in the ball since wouldn't really fit Cheers, Marco Martin _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
