Projects/Oxygen/Missing Icons

From KDE TechBase
Revision as of 14:23, 12 July 2008 by Drf (talk | contribs)

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 kopete (misc) (various) Emoticons for Kopete, See Projects/Oxygen/Missing_Emoticons In progress in the emoticons sub dir in trunk dmiller
kdenetwork kopete systray icons Systray icons indicating status other than online are based on the old kopete icon. Proposal for an update: http://dev.gentoo.org/~earthwings/misc/kopete_icons/ [jpetso says: hm... maybe we could get rid of these special icons by programmatically combining the application icon with the user status icons as emblems? That would be pretty flexible in communicating information (up to four different states shown at once) and would avoid other themes having an inconsistent look if they draw the Kopete icon but not the systray variants.] [Earthwings replies: Good idea, doesn't work for the "all-away" variant but that is more or less superfluous anyway. I'll look at implementing this. Edit: Done] Yes
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
kdegraphics okular actions/view-table-of-contents-ltr / view-table-of-contents-rtl An icon (in both LtR and RtL versions) representing the table of contents. To be used for indicating the "Contents" tab in the okular sidebar. in progress ltr done dmiller
koffice koffice icons (various) See http://wiki.koffice.org/index.php?title=Icons various. icon names listed there are badly broken at the moment, take that wiki with a grain of salt. No
koffice kthesaurus apps/kthesaurus - bug #49983 application icon for the application that suggests similar words for a given one 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. (perhaps some Abc in rich text, the paragraph sign, the T symbol and a bullet icon -- these icons will not be used on buttons or in toolbars) No
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 [1], 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
kdeedu step application icon Application icon should be something that assosiates with physics and mechanics. Some ideas are here: http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=Step
kdeedu step icons for physical objects in Step Screenshots of current (quite ugly) icons is available on step homepage.
kdepim kjots apps/kjots or view-pim-notebooks Icon for note taking application kjots. No
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. In progress Pinheiro
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. In progress Pinheiro
kdepim kmail mail-encrypted-full Status icon, displayed in the message list. Indicates that the whole message is encrypted. In progress Pinheiro
kdepim kmail mail-encrypted-part 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). In progress Pinheiro
kdepim kmail mail-encrypted Status icon, displayed in the message list. Indicates that a message is encrypted, but with undefined scope or validness. In progress Pinheiro
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] Yes pinheiro
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 In progress Pinheiro
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.] In progress Pinheiro
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.] In progress Pinheiro
kdepim kalarm apps/kalarm System tray icon, indicating alarms are enabled. Current icon is still the hicolor one, 22px icon is downscaled and jaggy, uses wrong projection for systrayicons. #164118 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 korganizer status/task-recurring An icon to show a recurring incidence (event, to-do or journal). 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 korgac actions/reminder-enable enable calendar reminder(s) 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
kdepim knode actions/??? knode has two buttons with arrows, one with an arrow pointing right (go to the next unread article), the other one used to have a double-arrow pointing right (go to the next unread thread). The former is go-next, the latter is what is needed. Unfortunately I don't know how it could be called.

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 Done Pinheiro
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
kdeutils Okteta actions/bookmark-go-next or go-next-bookmark icon go to the next bookmarked location

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)

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

KMess MSN Status icons If possible, oxygenized msn status icons.. it shouldn't be very long since they could be all color variants of just one image: Online, or with very little changes: Lunch please see user-* icons in status. if there are others that are needed, then please state them individually - Djmdave 15:07, 10 February 2008 (CET)

Misc Icon Requests

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:
