Thanks! From the list, it looks rather complete already. (And from using it, as well.) I've seen that some blanks have been filled in recently. It would be good to know where the artists see showstoppers currently. (Not only in icons, of course.) Marking the items that you consider showstopper is definitely helpful. From the icon naming (not artistic or completeness) point of view, the one issue that I would consider a showstopper still (besides many suboptimal names that I'd like to see renamed but are not critical) is the edit icon (in the actions category) which absolutely needs to be renamed to object-edit so that unrelated icons like edit-undo or edit-find don't fall back to edit when other icon themes are used. If someone with a full KDE checkout could provide me with a grep for \edit\ (which is impossible to do in lxr as it ignores the quotes), I could work on replacing those occurrences. Hopefully there are not too many non-icon edit strings in there. ___ release-team mailing list release-team@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team

- QToolBox (Can someone show me what's wrong? I fail to find the issue here) Well,last time I checked the whole QToolBox-Widget didn't get painted at all in Oxygen. This means that e.g. Marble (which uses QToolBox) can't be used as intended as most of its features are hidden. You can see it in: http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce_4.0-beta3/edu_marble.jpg On the top left (where the empty space is located) the tabs Navigation, Legend and View are missing. Switch to Plastique to see the difference. This makes it basically impossible for users who are using Oxygen to access different maps, different map projections and to adjust map settings.

Release Mode
The Release Team would like to see all KDE developers get into Release Mode. This means: - only bugfixes - focus on the most visible components - do polishing changes of the user interface now One very important point of this is that we need to stop thinking in terms of the pieces we usually work on. Now we need to get into this final phase of trying the desktop, identify things that don't work well enough yet and try to make them work. Lend your fellow gearhead a hand. This might mean for some to code outside your own pet-project. It means fix everything you can so we can all see the desktop getting better by the day. It requires some effort from all of us. Getting KDE developers into Release Mode means that we now need to show that we do care about the bigger picture and that we need to help each other getting showstoppers out of the way and make stuff work. It also means a period of high strain on our nerves, we all know that this is not only about fun, but so be it. I will be fun again once we've done this heavy lifting. Of course this all does not mean that everybody just cares about his own code right now, it means that we're close enough to the big release that some priorities need to shift. This is the time to show that we do not only operate as a bunch of subprojects, this is the time to show the world that the KDE community -- diverse as it is -- can function as *one* team with *one* shared goal: Getting the next generation Free Desktop to the users. Once we have done that, we can get back to Fun Mode taking advantage of all the goodness that the pillars of KDE bring to us. ... so you feel like getting your hands dirty?
