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 | |
| kdemultimedia | kmix | kmix icons | KMix icons | No | |

| koffice | Text Tool | plugins/textshape | Icons to replace the text on the tabs: one for formatting, one for paragraph styles, one for character styles, one for bullet settings.

| kdeedu | kalgebra | apps/kalgebra | Application Icon kdeedu/kalgebra/icons | 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-reminder | An icon for an event with a reminder. See the note for status/task-reminder below. | No | |
| kdepim | korganizer | status/task-reminder | An icon to show an incidence (event, to-do or journal) with a reminder. Perhaps could be similar or identical to apps/preferences-desktop-notification-bell - we're using this one for now as a temporary replacement (jstaniek 16:52, 12 March 2008 (CET)). | No | |
| kdepim | korganizer | actions/meeting-attending | An icon to show that you will attend a meeting | No | |
| kdepim | korganizer | actions/meeting-attending-tentative | An icon to show that you are tentatively scheduled to attend a meeting | 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.] | |
| kdepim | kontact | status/event-special | to represent a general special occassion. examples: holidays, birthdays, graduation, etc | No | |
| kdepim | kontact | status/event-holiday | a non-religious holiday. examples: independence day, new years, etc | No | |
| kdepim | kitchensync | actions/sync-start | The action to initiate a synchronization between to devices. | No | |
| kdepim | akregator | actions/feed-fetch | The action to fetch a newsfeed (RSS, Atom, ...), quite similar to fetching mails actually. [jpetso says: low priority, probably post-4.0 stuff - they're already using icons that are not too far off) | No | |
| kdepim | akregator | actions/feed-fetch-all | The action to fetch all newsfeeds (RSS, Atom, ...). [jpetso says: low priority, probably post-4.0 stuff - they're already using icons that are not too far off) | No | |

| kdeutils | kjots | apps/kjots | Icon for note taking application kjots. | No | |

| kdeutils | kjots | actions/address-book-new | Icon for creating a new book. Probably like the mimetypes/x-office-address-book, but with a (+) on the top right like document-new. (High priority, also required by the naming spec.) | No | |
| 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 | 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. | ||
| kdeutils | Okteta | actions/bookmark-remove icon | remove the bookmark from the current location | ||
| kdeutils | Okteta | actions/bookmark-remove-all icon | remove all bookmarks | ||

Kind of... copied the "roll" icon to that location | |

| 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 longer needed, using 'security-low' | |
| 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 | Leeo |

| 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:
