* 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 *** exists in the Tango icon set, but not in the spec
Generic Tango icons in Oxygen:
krfb -> preferences-desktop-remote-desktop
(also used in GNOME under that name)
Other application icons:
Most other application icons should go to their home modules instead of residing in kdelibs - this not only makes for a better overview but also reduces disk space in case not all modules are installed. And, of course, prevents icons being misused for wrong usages.
acroread ?? newer Reader versions are named
differently (how again?), and
use upper-case characters in
the name of the executable.
akonadi OK, as it an independent app that
doesn't make use of kdelibs and thus
can't provide the icon by itself

To do for Oxygen
Icons that are in the spec, but not yet in Oxygen's apps/ (after renaming) so they need to be added. Descriptions taken from the specification.
preferences-desktop-multimedia The icon used for the desktop's multimedia preferences.
To do for Oxygen - not in the spec
Icons that are not specified and do not currently exist as well, but are needed for KDE applications (and not blatantly obvious). Yes, I am aware that some of those are bad (if not outright evil) names. That comes from preferences-desktop-peripherals being classified in the "desktop" preferences subgroup, which is very wrong imho. We need to fix this in the spec (see the suggestions of the categories page), but until then, I stay with specification conform names.
preferences-desktop-effect ** The icon for the "Desktop Effects" KCM. (New in KDE 4.) preferences-desktop-panel ** The icon for the "Panels" KCM. preferences-desktop-theme-style ** The icon for the "Style" KCM (widget style, in "Appearance"). preferences-system-network-discovery ** The icon for the "Service Discovery" (= DNSSD / Zeroconf / Bonjour / Rendezvous) KCM. preferences-system-network-proxy *** The icon for the "Proxy" KCM. (Also exists in the Tango set.) preferences-system-session *** The icon for the "Session Manager" KCM. (This icon also exists in the Tango set.) preferences-system-splash ** The icon for the "Splash Screen" KCM.
Optional icons
We don't absolutely need those because they are covered by fallbacks: if these icons don't exist, they've got a sensible fallback.
preferences-desktop-display-multiple The icon for the "Multiple Monitors" (aka Xinerama) KCM. preferences-desktop-display-randr The icon for the "Size & Orientation" KCM. preferences-desktop-keyboard-khotkeys The icon for the "KHotKeys" KCM. preferences-desktop-multiple The icon for the "Multiple Desktops" (a.k.a. virtual desktops) KCM. preferences-desktop-panel-taskbar The icon for the "Taskbar" KCM. preferences-desktop-user-account The icon for the "Password & User Account" KCM. preferences-desktop-user-smartcard The icon for the "Smartcards" KCM. (Was "identity" in KDE 3, and is really not necessary.) preferences-system-solid The icon for the "Solid" KCM. (New in KDE 4.) preferences-system-network-connection The icon for the "Connection Preferences" KCM. preferences-system-network-share-windows The icon for the "Windows Shares" KCM. preferences-system-network-share-windows-status The icon for the "Samba Status" KCM (in KInfoCenter). preferences-system-windows-effect The icon for the "Window Effects" KCM. (New in KDE 4.) preferences-system-windows-decoration The icon for the "Window Decorations" KCM. preferences-system-windows-specific The icon for the "Window-Specific Settings" KCM.
Even more optional
Draw those only if you feel like wasting time for little outcome. I haven't got KDE 4 compiled at the moment, so I don't even know if those are visible at all.
preferences-system-windows-focus The icon for the KWin's "Focus" settings, which belong to the "Window Behaviour" KCM. preferences-system-windows-action The icon for the KWin's "Actions" settings, which belong to the "Window Behaviour" KCM. preferences-system-windows-movement The icon for the KWin's "Moving" settings, which belong to the "Window Behaviour" KCM. preferences-system-windows-advanced The icon for the KWin's "Advanced" settings, which belong to the "Window Behaviour" KCM.
Icons in Tango, but not in the spec
We don't need to have those, but if we do they should be named this way:
internet-group-chat For a possible generic instant messager icon. *Very* optional though, as we already have branded Kopete and Konversation icons. internet-mail Used in KDE 4 instead of "kmail". (Done.) internet-news-reader Instead of "knode". internet-web-browser For a possible generic browser icon. *Very* optional though, as we already have a branded Konqueror icon. (Done.) office-calendar We already have this from the previous "korganizer" icon. (Done.) preferences-desktop-assistive-technology Tango does this as preferences-desktop-accessibility plus an emblem-style gear icon at the lower right. Hardly necessary to have. preferences-desktop-sound Go Phonon go. (Done.) preferences-system-network-proxy We do have proxy settings in KDE 3, this might make sense. (Done.) preferences-system-session The icon for the session management settings. preferences-system-windows KWin settings. (Done.) system-installer Adept, Yast, Pirut, Smart, or whatever else is out there. system-users Seems to fit KUser or Guidance's "User Management" module. (Done.)
