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

kdenetwork	networkmanager	(various)	Status Icons for the NetworkManager applet. Specifically icons to represent the signal strength of a wifi device and icons to represent the stage of connection (stage1-3). device-wireless would be a good candidate to also serve as a signal strength icon given that it has four rings around it (25%, 50%, etc). An icon is also needed to show when a wifi card is in Ad-Hoc mode.	No

kdeedu	kig	apps/kig	Application Icon for Kig (kdeedu/kig/kig), a geometrical drawing program.	No
kdeedu	klettres	klettres_kids & klettres_grownup	Application Icon for Klettres [2], a letter learning program. my idea was this: http://www.bdgraue.de/files/images/klettres_kids.svg http://www.bdgraue.de/files/images/klettres_grownup.svg i think, someone can do it better . here is a screenshot from klettres where you can see the old icons for 'mode kids' and mode 'grown up': http://edu.kde.org/klettres/	No
kdeedu	parley	action/insert-row & action/insert-column	Add a new entry in parley	In Progress (jpetso: done already?)	Leeo
kdepim	kmail	mail-download-now	See this screenshot. The icon is displayed on the column header for the pop filter dialog. If the user clicks the radiobutton of the icon's column, the message will be downloaded with the current mail check.	No
kdepim	kmail	mail-download-later	See this screenshot. The icon is displayed on the column header for the pop filter dialog. If the user clicks the radiobutton of the icon's column, the message will not be downloaded with the current mail check. The user still can download the message with a later mail check.	No
kdepim	kmail	kmmsgfullyencrypted	Status icon, displayed in the message list. Indicates that the whole message is encrypted.	No
kdepim	kmail	kmmsgpartiallyencrypted	Status icon, displayed in the message list. Indicates that some parts of the message is encrypted (for example, the body text is encrypted, but an attachment is not).	No
kdepim	kmail	kmmsgundefinedencrypted	Status icon, displayed in the message list. Indicates that it is not known if the message is encrypted.	No
kdepim	kmail	kmmsgencryptionproblematic	Status icon, displayed in the message list. Indicates that the message is encrypted, but there is some problem with it.	No
kdepim	kmail	kmmsgsignatureproblematic	Status icon, displayed in the message list. Indicates that the message is encrypted, but there is some problem with the signature (for example, the key might be expired).	No
kdepim	kmail	actions/mail-mark-junk	Action to mark one or more mails as spam (= junk). [jpetso says: high priority, also required by the icon naming spec]	No	dmiller
kdepim	kmail	addressee-distributionlist (or something like that)	KMail has an addressee selector, where you can select the receivers of the mail you write. Each addressee has a little icon which indicates whether that addressee is a single person or a group of persons (also named distribution list). The old icon for this was kontact_contacts, and showed three heads. The other icon for a single person shows a single head (user-identity, not the best choice probably, but there is nothing else). No	No
kdepim	kmail	actions/mail-message-new-list	Creates a new message, which will have the mailing list of the current folder as the recepient. Can be found in the context menu of a folder in KMail, but only after activating "Folder->Mailing List Management". [jpetso says: low priority, mail-message-new already exists as fallback.]	No
kdepim	kmail	mail-reply-custom	Action to reply to a message with a custom template (made by the user). Note that there either is no fallback or the fallback does not work. [jpetso: You're right, there's no fallback. Possible fallbacks in the 4.0 Oxygen set would be mail-reply-sender, mail-reply-all and mail-reply-list. So that would make mail-reply-sender-custom, for example.]	No
kdepim	kalarm	apps/kalarm	System tray icon, indicating alarms are enabled. Current icon is still the hicolor one.	No
kdepim	korganizer	actions/appointment-new	The icon for the "New Event" action. Very important, and even in the icon naming spec.	No
kdepim	korganizer	actions/task-new	The icon for the "New Todo" action.	No
kdepim	korganizer	actions/journal-new	The icon for the "New Journal" action. I guess view-pim-journal overlayed with the plus icon should do.	No
kdepim	korganizer	actions/address-book-open	An icon for viewing, opening or selecting from an address book. Also used somewhere else (KAlarm, I believe), and combined with a plus icon it would be possible to get the specified address-book-new icon. [jpetso: Should we just use (copy) mimetypes/x-office-address-book?]	No
kdepim	korganizer	apps/preferences-calendar-freebusy	An icon for configuring free/busy time.	No
kdepim	korganizer	status/appointment-recurring	An icon to show a recurring event.	No

kdepim	kontact	status/event-anniversary	to represent a wedding anniversary	No
kdepim	kontact	planner	to represent a daily planner (show your appointments, stuff to-do, meetings, etc in an organized way)	[jpetso: I think view-pim-summary (already in Oxygen) is the right icon for this.]

kdebase	plasma	plasma's toolbox	Toolbox icon to replace the wrench icon. 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
kdebase	plasma	battery.svg	Battery applet uses battery to present different types of batteries. We would need overlay's in svg, similar as existing AC adaptor indicator, that could be used to present different types of icons. We need indicators for following types: primary/notebook (no indicator is OK), mouse, keyboard, mouse+keyboard (not sure if used), pda.
kdeaccessibility	ktts	apps/ktts(d?).png	App icon for ktts is needed, and will be used for kttsmgr in menus, and for "Speak Page" icon in konq toolbar. Will probably also likely be used for ktts settings in accessibility system-settings page. Old icon was a parrot which fits I think.
kdeutils	Okteta	program icon	Program (a hex editor) is currently in kdereview, heading to kdeutils. Uses the old KHexEdit icon for now
kdeutils	Okteta	readonly/readwrite status icon	The loaded file can be set to readonly, by a toggle. Readonly would be the exception, so the icon could be a striked pen, a pen in a prohibition sign (round white with red border) or similar.
kreview	autostart	autostart	Apps main icon

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)

No longer needed, using 'security-low'

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	Leeo

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:
