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

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/view-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
KPlayer, Amarok	status/media-playlist-repeat	Option to loop through the current playlist. See screenshot, it's the next-to-last button in the second row.	No (...jpetso: used an interim copy of the playlist icon, but without nice "repeat" arrows)
KPlayer, Amarok	status/media-playlist-shuffle	Option to shuffle the current playlist. See screenshot, it's the last button in the second row.	Kind of... copied the "roll" icon to that location
KPlayer	status/audio-volume-muted	This icon already exists in Oxygen, but in only one size, 22x22 I believe. Would like to have a scalable version. [note from jpetso: please also a scalable version for the other audio-volume-* icons]	No

kopete-cryptography	status/signature-bad	An icon like the 'signature' icon, but it indicates that a digital signature cannot be verified. See websvn for a quick version that I made. This icon is intended to be displayed at 16x16, so I think the red color alone isn't enough to made it's intention quickly obvious, it should have more distinction from 'siganture'.	No
ktorrent	media-playback-all-start and media-playback-all-stop	For starting and stopping torrents we want to use media-playback-start and media-playback-stop, so we would like some matching icons to start and stop all torrents.	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:
