By optimizing the entropy enconding with jpegtran and by removing thumbnails from exif metadata, they can easily be compressed stronger without losing quality. For example from the kdeartwork-4.8.3 tarball, the file kdeartwork-4.8.3/WeatherWallpapers/JK_Bridge_at_Night/contents/images/1600x1200.jpg has a size of 271474 bytes. With a simple optimization run with jpegtran, the file size can be reduced to 265162 bytes. With progressive mode, this can be even further shrunk to 254764 bytes. Finally removing the exif embedded thumbnail yields a size of 247968 bytes. Applying these optimizations to all images saves several megabytes. One can argue that embedded thumbnails are a good thing because a preview picture can be quickly shown. However, only some jpeg files in kdeartwork contain thumbnails, and they do not really work good together with the preview capabilities of KDE. If KDE does not find suitable embedded thum</pre> Martin Walch 2012-05-25T22:26:59 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.artists/6360 <pre>Hi! I've realised that the default Oxygen icons for text-x-changelog are exactly the same as the text-plain icon. To rectify this, I've taken the text-x-log icon and changed the "log" text to "cha", with repositioning as required.

I've been looking at using the Oxygen icons on my web pages and for GPL applications, such as for Apache's autoindex feature. The icons are very good---I really like them! Well done! However, I noticed that a few icons could be added. If I was a graphics designer, I'd try to do so myself, but I'm not :-( I'd suggest adding the following MIME type icons: application/x-core - Core dumps (just a nicety!) text/x-emacs-lisp - Emacs Lisp source code text/x-fortran - Fortran source code text/x-go - Go source code text/x-scheme - Scheme source code text/x-verilog - Verilog source code (hardware description language) text/x-vhdl - VHDL hardware description language source code text/x-source-generic - For generic source code (similar to text/x-generic except that it looks more like source code) In addition, the following would be useful, I think: book-open - For hierarchical manual pages, current page book-c</pre> John Zaitseff 2012-05-01T13:54:18 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.artists/6354 <pre>https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=297218 Bug ID: 297218 Severity: normal Version: unspecified Priority: NOR Assignee: kde-artists&lt; at &gt;kde.org Summary: Login and logout sound files have no license Classification: Unclassified OS: other Reporter: neptunia&lt; at &gt;mail.ru Hardware: Other Status: UNCONFIRMED Component: general Product: artwork User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Firefox 2.0; openSUSE; ru-RU) Build Identifier: The files KDE_Logout_new.wav and KDE_Startup_new.wav located in kdeartwork/sounds/ have no license information.

One of the features that we are still missing in KDE Telepathy is the possibility to set a custom icon to an account, useful to distinguish two accounts using the same protocol. Kopete had this interesting feature that lets you pick any colour for the icon, and the "standard" icon for the protocol and then is rendered using that colour as an effect. This is not possible for telepathy, because we don't have an icon-color property (perhaps we could try to have it directly in telepathy specs, but I'm not sure if this is a good idea and if they would accept it upstream), the only thing that we can do at the moment is just set a custom icon. We could just let the user choose any icon, but in my opinion this is a little too much for the standard user because he probably don't want to be able to choose any icon, but wants just to be able to distinguish the accounts. Therefore I'm thinking that we could ha</pre> Daniele E.

Currently we are using existing Oxygen icons for everything. In order to stay consistent with the other Plasma Workspaces, we'd like to continue doing so. However there are several objects for which no suitable Oxygen icon exists yet (we're especially lacking monochrome icons for elements in the bar at the top of the screen and have some new concepts for which no icon exists yet). That's why I'd like to ask: Is the Oxygen team interested in contributing to Plasma Active? Otherwise we'd have to find our own designer (who might then produce icons not in line with the Oxygen style). I'm hoping that at least one of you is interested in Plasma Active and would like to help us. Other design help would be really appreciated as well, but the icons are the most pressing issue right now.

You can find it in my Wuala drive as single files, or as a .tar. Just put all of them into your /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/pics/users/ folder and go to systemsettings/user details https://www.wuala.com/hermann.thomas/Fotos/kde/?key=fM4NS4n2TeqL&amp;mode=gallery You will have all as a choice for your new Avatar. What I need now is the clarification about the License. The Photographer likes the creative commons. If that would be possible that would be the best thing. The Other thing is to delete all old user Icons there are in the 4.8 trunk and replace with the new Set. We can have changes at 4.9. Who can Help me finish this task? thanks, Hermann </pre> Hermann Thomas 2011-11-14T20:34:25 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.artists/6282 <pre>Hi, we're having a discussion about painting custom icons in KDE-Telepathy. Basically we need an icon for action "sort contacts by their presence" and since there is no such icon in Oxygen set, we created one with custom painting, see https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/103063/ Now the team just can't decide if we should ship this or not, because it might get totally confusing with different icon themes etc. The pros are that doing this custom painting will always result in at least somewhat themed icons, ie. if you change your icon theme, the background icon will be correctly themed as well as the presence icons. The cons are that it might look really weird with different themes. So we'd like to know your opinion here. Can we ship it like that? Or should we create/request new icon for this?

I produced a Set years ago which wasn't perfect, but still better that whats there today and at least it made a start . To understand better what I mean, I took a screen shot from all major Desktop OS and put it in my Wuala drive. https://www.wuala.com/hermann.thomas/Fotos/kde/?key=fM4NS4n2TeqL Please look at the KDE, Gnome, Win, and MAC Icons. KDE is definitely the worst. The Pics from Gnome are also better, but seem a little stolen for me. I think I recognise the Space shuttle and Chess Figures from WinXP. Anyway I know a very good Photographer who is willing to share some Pics with the appropriate Licence. With the once I have I could produce a nice set. The thing is I only bother if there is a way to get rid of ALL old icons. Yes Even the conductor icon for Root, and replace them with a complete new Set.

I know Kate doesn't seem to use an icon for the overwrite button in the dialog that comes up. I was also trying to figure out if there was an exisiting icon somewhere I could use in Tellico for the same action. If there is no current icon, and I guess maybe the freedesktop spec doesn't call out one, could perhaps I request one? And maybe a KStandardAction to go along with it? In the mean time, might there be a particular icon that seems appropriate to mis-use, so to speak? Thanks!
