Projects/Oxygen/Missing Icons

The page will help Oxygen team to track and produce icons that are currently missing in KDE4. Additionally it will help developers to make requests for icons that they need for KDE4 related projects.

Instructions to fill out the request

• This page, being a wiki, obviously does not validate your request. Please take care when providing information about the icons. Note that this page is mainly for the team to know where is mostly needed the work, we'll do our best to fullfill your requests for 4.0 but however we can't guarantee that. =)

• When providing icon names please try to make them compatible with the actual naming scheme.

• Please provide clear but short descriptions about the icons, it needs to help the artists in imagining a good metaphore to make your icon. This point is extremely important. You may obviously also link your description if it's going to be lengthy. This will help us to manage icon requests, and check if there are any possible duplicates. The most descriptive you are, the best it is for us.

• Screenshots are sometimes a better way to easily show the usage of the icon. Provide metaphores when possible this will help the artist to visualize our reqest faster and give a better understanding of the reqest.

• As someone already noted, this is not the right page to complain or make suggestions about existing icon, this is just to know the remaining work.

• Please sort by module/application/priority

Missing Icons Table

General purpose icons

For icons like the folder, or the desktop.

Icon Name	Description / Where can be found?	Done?	Assigned To
actions/edit-clear	This is currently an empty text-edit box (like edit-rename, btw), but should be a general icon for clearing texts, lists, browser caches... anything! We want people to use this icon because it's great, but they'll only use it when they get the message. Most (if not all) other icon themes use a broom here, so we might stick to that metaphor.	No
actions/transform-scale (ArtLibreSet)	an icon for an image resize action.	In progress (See discussion page)	dmiller
actions/transform-move (ArtLibreSet)	move action [[1]]	In progress (will be copyied from the cursor theme)	ruphy
mimetypes/application-x-chm	Icon for *.chm (application/x-chm).	No
actions/help-hint	KStandardAction for "Tip of the Day", for example seen in the help menu of KMail [jpetso says: I think it would be appropriate to have the same metaphor for this and the games-hint icon (which should be named help-hint-game anyways)]	In Progress	davigno
apps/preferences-plugin	icon to show that there are plugins to enable, for example in a configuration dialog	In Progress	davigno
actions/edit-select-all	An icon for the "select all" action. Used in Parley and Ark, at least. Also specified in the naming spec, so... we should really have that one.	Done	davigno
actions/view-sort-descending	An icon for sorting lists in descending order (for example, from A-Z, 1-100, etc.). Used in KAddressBook for the "Show Jump Bar", but apart from that it's also specified in the naming spec. So, rather important.	Yes	dmiller
actions/view-sort-ascending	An icon for sorting lists in ascending order (for example, from Z-A, 100-1, etc.). Not currently used as far as I know, but should be easy to do once the corresponding view-sort-descending icon has been drawn. Also specified in the naming spec.	Yes	dmiller
actions/object-flip-horizontal (naming spec)	icon for flipping an image or object in a drawing/graphics program	No
actions/object-flip-vertical (naming spec)	icon for flipping an image or object in a drawing/graphics program	No
media-optical-video	icon for DVDs and video CDs, from HalDevice::icon	No
mimetypes/application-rtf mimetypes/text-rtf	icon for rtf documents	Done (copied from text-enriched)	jpetso

Done, use "mail-send-via" for this (which falls back to the existing "mail-send"). jpetso says: I can't think of *any* reason that would warrant a different icon than "mail-send" for this action.

The toolbox (on the top right of the desktop, remember all the screenshots) will allow users to zoom in and out of the desktop, add widgets, configure the desktop, lock the desktop, run commands, etc. From what I understand it's a replacement of the right click menu. Several plasma developers suggested a 2D palette similar to plasma's techbase icon. ~Craig	No

Other 3rd party Application Icons

For all the other applications

Application	Icon Name	Description / Where can be found?	Done?	Assigned To
KSystemlog	KSystemLog icon	App icon - Made by a non-graphic designer developer ;-)	Done (utilites-log-viewer)	dmiller
Tagua	tagua-movelist	toggle movelist	Done - use actions/history
Amarok	apps/amarok	App icon. Needs Oxygen colors, we don't really want to change design.	No
Amarok	status/media-track-repeat	An icon for the "repeat the current track" state.	No

ktorrent	apps/preferences-system-network-discovery	Icon for KTorrent's zeroconf (DNSSD) plugin, also used by the "Network Discovery" page in the System Settings (which makes for the slightly different icon name).	No

Misc Icon Requests

• Please see my request on http://www.nabble.com/Suggestion-for-Oxygen:-Highlight-difference-between-Kate-and-KWrite-t4447769.html and the bug report to help you track this wish at: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138170.

Update:Thanks Djmdave, for moving this here. Now the KWrite icon is totally missing. See: http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdebase/runtime/pics/oxygen/128x128/apps/kwrite.png?view=markup and other corresponding directories (scalable 64x64 etc). My request for two distinct icons for Kate and KWrite stands. Please see bug for more details and discussion.

• Partly fixed in svn commit r733637 (fabo), missing all unmount icons and some others (MO Device and ZIP Device) used in *.desktop files:
