iKons 0.6 for KDE2/3

Icon Sub-Sets by kborrey 177 comments

The zoom in/out and find icons could possibly do with a little more work - I always find myself confusing them. Have you seen the new Gnome 2 icons? They have some nice ideas (as well as some they're taken straight from KDE :):

Besides, every time I see red and hands, I think of Northern Ireland :-). It just doesn't fit with the rest of the toolbar icons.

... that the old stop icon, despite having an overused metaphor, looks better than the new one regardless.

Additionally, most of the new 16x16 folder icons are lacking the translucency effect that makes all the other folder icons so nice. - Jan 26 2002

Liquid button patch

KDE 2 Themes by xks 10 comments

I think what the author meant to say is that the default buttons are blue whereas other buttons are white (more like Mac OS X). The original Liquid behaviour was to make all buttons blue (or whatever colour you assign to them). - Jan 25 2002

Liquid button patch

KDE 2 Themes by xks 10 comments

Key theme here: "glow with a wet glare"

1. If it is possible, make the buttons have more of a "glowing wet" or "shiny" or "glass" look. The primary reason I used Aronax's Acqua style instead of Liquid is because Liquid's buttons look like sucked-on jelly beans. The correct look would be "wet jollyrancher" as someone once put it (whoever said that, I love that phrase! It captures the idea perfectly).

Make the top of the button have a white region, giving it a glare effect. Also fade from a darker blue at top to a lighte blue at the bottom, giving it a glowing effect.

This would go for all elements, really, including comobox controls, checkboxes, toolbar handles, scroll bars, etc.

The look I'm going for is already present in radio buttos - just enhance the "wet glare" effect a bit. A perfect example would be Aronnax's style and the buttons off kwinaqua and kwinaqua_ace.

2. Also, if possible, draw the "groves" of the scroll bars with a white background and shaded near the buttons and the let border (giving it a recessed, or grooved appearance). Right now, Mosfet has drawn the scroll bar backgorund with a greyed out image if the scroller itself, which is confusing and looks weird (doesn't look like a groove at all). It'd also be cool to have both scrollbuttons at bottom, but that may be asking too much.

3. Instead of drawing bubbles for toolbar grips, just draw some standard beveled lines. Or, as with the other elements, give them more of a wet "glare".

One reason Mosfet may not be doing this already is because of speed ("high performance"). However, I'd sacrifice a performance hit to have the desired effects - and I still think it would be faster than pixmap-based style, and I don't see a noticable hit when I do use pixmap based styles (PIII 500, old ATI Rage 128). Those concerned about speed can continue to use existing Liquid.

If one could do that, that would more than awesome. I wish I could do this myself, but I'm not a programmer.

Of course, if this involves major changes, then this may be something that Mosfet must do to the Liquid code himself, depending on the license he has on it.

Thanks,
Ty - Jan 25 2002

Just realized that what I suggested above would put text alongside every icon, while your intent was to emphasize the certain buttons, like the back button in this case. I correct myself. Yes, it looks like it could be useful.

Right-click your toolbar, select Text Position and choose Text Aside Icons. Does the same thing, only it's not bold.

just out of curiosity, wouldnt it be easier to use the system colors? or does that not work with the icewm decorating styles? if so, perhaps you should do this in the standard kde api, so you dont flood this site with slight variations on the same thing... - Jan 23 2002
How did you do that? As far as I know toolbar icon can't be stretched, and you can anly use default sizes like 16x16, 22x22 and 32x32 on toolbar buttons. I don't get it :( I am now on the public computer and I can't download your icon theme but can you answer to my question, please?

With respect,

lame is the reason why there are two versions:
some clown complained that the rocket in next to run command in the menu didn't look professional, and what would his boss think of it.
The logical thing would have been for that guy to change to a non-fascist company, but instead two versions are now made.
