Personally, I find that Red Hat's Bluecurve icons are perhaps the finest all-around for clarity and clean lines. IIRC, they were previously licensed to be Red Hat-only (the artist being on their payroll). Does anyone know if that's changed now that Fedora is out? It would be great to have those in contrib. http://librsvg.sourceforge.net/theme.php OK, Amaranth and Wasp look decent D'oh! That reminds me that Götz is waiting for me on a bug report. The Wasp icon set is woefully incomplete, being based on a set that in turn was based on BeOS and only done in the designer's free time. http://librsvg.sourceforge.net/images/spheresandcrystal.png Also partly a Crytal rip ... anyway, I believe the KDE3.2 versions of crystal are SVG (for KDE3.1 I believe they were rendered to PNG from the SVG?). Crystal icons were originally bitmapped, then Everaldo made a bitmapped version rendered from SVG (Crystal SVG, natch). KDE 3.2 will use a hybrid SVG/bitmap that allows optimization at small sizes. Nifty. cf. http://www.ofb.biz/modules.php?name=Newsfile=articlesid=190 - John P.S. Buchan, good luck in South Africa v England tomorrow...
[Cooker] [Mandrake 10] : Updating the default icon artwork
Hi all In KDE, Crystal icons are nice, but now they seem outdated compared to new icon sets available. I had a look at kde-look artworks, and there are superb pieces of work. Moreover, a new major Mandrake release should correspond to a new look. Here are my preferences : New Icon Set by Sean Parsons http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=6753 He has a site : http://thelinuxbox.org These icons are very nice, professional Noia by Carlitus http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=3883 Site : http://www.carlitus.net They are wonderful, but I agree that for a professional environment, maybe they are not classical, sober enough. There is also a Noia Warm version, with redish colours. Slick icons by Amibug http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=8313 http://www.digital-confusion.net/slickpreview.jpg download them at : http://www.digital-confusion.net/linux.html They are very nice, very professional. Sean's icons and Slick are not yet finished, but may be complete for Mandrake 10, considering the dynamic of these projects. What do you think ? I always thought that Gnome showed better icons, and KDE could get a new set too. Eric

There is also a Noia Warm version, with redish colours. Noia 0.95 (1.00 is current) is in PLF. I don't know if the Warm set is included (it seems not). I don't know why they're in PLF, possibly not to waste space in contrib for icon themes? Slick icons by Amibug http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=8313 http://www.digital-confusion.net/slickpreview.jpg download them at : http://www.digital-confusion.net/linux.html They are very nice, very professional. Slick is in kdeartwork, and I think the version here will be in KDE3.2 anyway. What do you think ? I always thought that Gnome showed better icons, and KDE could get a new set too.
