* suggesting this for inclusion into the icon naming specification
** not in the spec, but let's keep it out of there anyways,
it's not really suited to be a standard icon
Applications which are to be considered part of the base desktop, such as the calculator or terminal, should use the generic icons specified in this specification, while more advanced applications such as web browsers and office applications should use branded icons which still give the user an idea of what function the application provides.
To do for Oxygen
Icons that are in the spec, but not yet in Oxygen's apps/ (after renaming) so they need to be added. Descriptions taken from the specification.
accessories-character-map The icon used for the desktop's international and extended text character accessory program. preferences-desktop-accessibility The icon used for the desktop's accessibility preferences. preferences-desktop-font The icon used for the desktop's font preferences. preferences-desktop-keyboard The icon used for the desktop's keyboard preferences. preferences-desktop-locale The icon used for the desktop's locale preferences. preferences-desktop-multimedia The icon used for the desktop's multimedia preferences. preferences-desktop-screensaver The icon used for the desktop's screen saving preferences. preferences-desktop-theme The icon used for the desktop's theme preferences. system-file-manager The icon used for the desktop's file management application. utilities-system-monitor The icon used for the desktop's system resource monitor application.
Summary of the suggested changes and additions
The ones marked with * and should therefore go into the icon naming specification, presented here in a shorter list for a better overview. Including a suggested short description text like needed for inclusion in the spec.
newly-suggested-icon The icon used for [whatever].
