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

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)]	No	davigno
status/object-locked (ArtLibreSet)	icon to show that an item or ui element is locked and will not move or disappear, such as a toolbar in a fullscreen window	Done (copied from actions/document-encrypt)

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.	No
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.	No

Can be found in the "File" menu of KMail.	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.

kdenetwork	krdc	krdc-viewonly	Toggles the remote view viewonly / view-control mode. Viewonly means, that the remote desktop shows all updates, but the client does not send actions back to the server. At the moment the kgpg-sign-kgpg is used there. --Uwolfer 23:11, 28 October 2007 (CET)	No
kdenetwork	kget	status/network-connecting	Shown while trying to connect to a server. --Uwolfer 21:05, 29 October 2007 (CET)	No
kdenetwork	kopete	status/user-online	Icon representing an IM contact in an online state. Used full size in the contact list, and as overlay for user and protocol icons. As every contact gets one of those status icons and overlays are pretty tiny, this should be rather simple - for the online icon, we might standardize on simple green circle which Pidgin and Adium are using.	Done	davigno
kdenetwork	kopete	status/user-away	Icon representing an IM contact in an away state. Used full size in the contact list, and as overlay for user and protocol icons. As every contact gets one of those status icons and overlays are pretty tiny, this should be rather simple - for the away icon, the Kopete developers would prefer a 1/4 dark clock.	Done	davigno
kdenetwork	kopete	status/user-away-extended	Icon representing an IM contact in an extended away state. Used full size in the contact list, and as overlay for user and protocol icons. As every contact gets one of those status icons and overlays are pretty tiny, this should be rather simple - for the extended away icon, the Kopete developers would prefer a 3/4 dark clock.	Done	davigno
kdenetwork	kopete	status/user-busy	Icon representing an IM contact in a busy state. Used full size in the contact list, and as overlay for user and protocol icons. As every contact gets one of those status icons and overlays are pretty tiny, this should be rather simple - for the offline icon, the Kopete icons would prefer a "one way" sign... in fact, the one inside printer-error would probably be perfect for this purpose. Only covering the whole canvas in the smaller versions probably, but we should use that one.	Done	davigno
kdenetwork	kopete	status/user-offline	Icon representing the user in an unknown state. Used full size in the contact list, and as overlay for user and protocol icons. As every contact gets one of those status icons and overlays are pretty tiny, this should be rather simple - for the unknown state icon, there's no preference for a specific look, but should probably be gray. Pidgin uses a gray "X" icon very similar to our own "window-close".	Done	davigno
kdenetwork	kopete	apps/im-aim	Icon for the AIM instant messaging protocol	No	johann_ol
kdenetwork	kopete	apps/im-icq	Icon for the ICQ instant messaging protocol	No	johann_ol

kdenetwork	kopete	status/kopete-dock-flashing	icon flashed in system tray when new messages are received	No	davigno
kdenetwork	kopete	actions/view-statistics	A general icons for a statistics view, used in Kopete for the statistics plugin. KTorrent also has a (download) statistics plugin that would use such an icon, at least it does in its 3.x version.	Done	pinheiro
kdeutils	kwalletmanager	status/wallet-open	kwalletmanager system tray icon when a wallet is open	Done
kdeutils	kwalletmanager	status/wallet-closed	kwalletmanager system tray icon when a wallet is close	Done
kdeutils	kwalletmanager	apps/kwalletmanager	kwalletmanager application icon	Done
kdesdk	kapptemplate	app icon	generates KDE 4 templates to start programming	No

Tagua	apps/tagua	Tagua logo	Done	dmiller
Tagua	tagua-movelist	toggle movelist	Done - use actions/history

Amarok	status/media-track-repeat	An icon for the "repeat the current track" state.	No

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
KPlayer	video-contrast	Button that pops up the slider that lets you change the video contrast. See screenshot, it's the fourth-to-last button in the first row.	No
KPlayer	video-brightness	Button that pops up the slider that lets you change the video brightness. See screenshot, it's the third-to-last button in the first row.	No
Firefox	apps/firefox	Firefox logo	No
GIMP	apps/gimp	GIMP logo	No
kopete-cryptography	badsignature	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	start-all and stop-all	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-ip-filter-ktorrent	Icon for KTorrent's IP Filter plugin. This is a blocklist for bad peers.	No
ktorrent	apps/preferences-plugin-scan-folder-ktorrent	Icon for KTorrent's folder scanner plugin. This plugin monitors directories for torrent files, and when a new one is detected, it is loaded into ktorrent.	No
ktorrent	apps/preferences-system-network-upnp-ktorrent	Icon for KTorrent's UPnP plugin.	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:
