SVG KDE logo

HI!

I am pleased to announce that there is the first (?) handcrafted SVG kde 
logo available. It is < 1kb in size and i think it should be placed on

http://www.kde.org/clipart.html

among the other kdelogos.

Credits go to Theseus of www.svg4all.de who designed that beautiful KDE 
SVG logo.

Here is the link:

http://svg.kde.org/images/kdelogo.svgz

and a converted PNG for those of you who can't view SVG's:

http://svg.kde.org/images/kdelogo.png

(converted with batik).

Unfortunately you can't view this logo in ksvg yet because filters 
aren't supported by ksvg. You will need batik.

Greetings,

Andreas Streichardt

Xcursors?

Hi All,

In the upcoming XFree 4.3 (and in the current CVS for quite a while) there's 
Keith Packard's Xcursor extension which gives, as the name implies, a very 
nice cursor design mechanism.

I have tested XFree RPMS from RedHat's Rawhide and I must say - it's VERY 
impressive, compared to the other OS's (Mac, Win 2000, XP). It's alpha 
blended so you can see through the cursor whats beneath it - very cool.

Naturally - all the distributions are going to release their next version with 
XFree 4.3 which will have Xcursor, and here's my thought - what about some 
KDE cursors?

The format itself is the same format as icons - 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64 - 
you name it, with as many colors as you like.

So, I was wondering if someone could create some cursors (the default ones are 
nice, but I guess that Keith Packard is not an artist ;) like a new arrow 
button with shadow, maybe some old cursors from the good old 16 days (Amiga 
mouse pointer, Atari Bee mouse pointer, a new watch pointer, etc)?

I'm enclosing few small cursors to see my point..

Thanks,
Hetz

New KDE.org Frontpage Design Request

Hello Artists, 

I recently wrote a Email to your list requesting you people to make
preferrablay visual comments and ideas to the brand new KDE.org Homepage

for "approval" up to now.

I uploaded my latest development snapshot of the KDE Frontpage to the
KDE CVS. It can be seen at:

www.kde.org/testing/kdewww-beta-20021112.png
or (very soon) www.kde.org/testing/kdewww-beta-20021612.png

using KDE Icons for foreign applications


Hello list members,

i'm currently preparing a new internal iconset for Licq (an ICQ clone for 
Linux). I would like to base my new iconset on the Licq icon provided by the 
crystalsvg from KDE HEAD.
I guess that KDE Icons are licensed under the GPL, but anyway i think it's 
decent to ask for permission. I would like to use and modify the KDE icon in 
several ways to reflect special ICQ states in the GUI of Licq.

Please tell me about your opinions. I don't want to make use of other peoples 
work without asking them for permission!

Thank you very much,
Thomas Reitelbach

I forgot to mention:

If anyone's willing, she / he could make a real flashy looking image for
the top left content part starring Konqi.

thanks for now - merry xmas,

Re: using KDE Icons for foreign applications

Thomas,

The crystal svg icons will be released under the LGPL v 2.1, with an add on to 
the license notice, to clear out possible misunderstandings since icons are 
images, not code. See attachment.

So, yes, you can use the icons. The conditions to do this are mainly to be 
found in conditions 2 + 6. If anything is unclear, feel free to ask again. 

Cordialemente,

Ante

the challenge here is that it uses the standard icon for "Zoom in" and "Zoom 
out". for that, it makes a lot of sense to use a magnifying glass. the 
benefit to using a standard icon in all KDE apps for zooming features is that 
the user can identify them quickly, whether they enlarge a text document or 
an image or a pdf or a ... in konqueror, this has the added benefit of 
allowing the user to learn those same two icons regardless of what sort of 
data is being viewed. imagine if the zoom icons in Konqueror changed 
depending on whether you were looking at an HTML document or a PDF. that 
wouldn't be intuitive at all.

instead, i'd suggest that the find icon should be changed. the magnifying 
glass is the main element in that icon, only the feet are supposed to tell 
the user that it has to do with searching vs zooming. the feet are a small
