Specification compliance of icon names

Icon names without trailing stars already exist in the freedesktop.org icon naming specification.

 folder-violet,
 folder-yellow            -> Keep for now, but try to bring up some
                             substitute functionality, like tinting
                             folders by code, or putting the regular
                             folder on a colored background.

 folder-development,
 folder-html,

 * 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

To do for Oxygen

Nothing to be done, places implements all of the naming spec correctly :D

Stuff that needs to be done in the code

  • Replace root folder occurrences (folder-red/folder-root) with drive-harddisk? (Discuss with kde-usability first.)
