Updating oxygen site.

-

We are working on a new version of oxygen site that will have lots of new exyting features.

Also we will be refreshing the previews to reflect the current state of the theme.

We hope to have a realy good colaboration forum so that all artists, developers, kde users may join the oxygen efort.

Another cool feature that we are working on is some usability test's for the icons in order to improve the metafores and to test some new ones.


Stay tuned!!

BTW those icons are some of the new action icons we have done.

Whooo :-)

At last. An icon theme with a chance to be near-complete and good looking (to me) at once. Keep up the good work and I will have one more reason to switch from Gnome to KDE4 when it comes out :>

You just know the floppy icon will save the doc/object you work on, but that's only be cause it has been that way since the floppy-era...

Of course only way it to change would be that this generation of computer users would force a update their mental picture of the save action and it's icon, and that's pretty hard thing to do instantly for most people.

More modern way might be to use record-type icon, I mean the red disc used on VCR/modia player/recorders, but yet again that s way too close to the stop-sign-like stop icon right now, so that would need to change to a red square to meet the VDR/media player/recorder look (I bet moving from Win 3.1 look to VDR look resurfaces from time to time).

And I haven't been using floppies for about a decade now, only few times when forced to do a BIOS update with DOS discs, but that's only needed with older motherboards.

I am glad to see that you are using black. It looks elegant.

Design done...

Hello again, so I believe I am 90% done with the base style direction and main UI components for O², and am currently struggling with my not so bright idea of dinamic QML colour pallets.  Still overall I'm happy with the general visual direction of the UI style, it's IMO clearly derivative of Oxygen but today.  Now having done 90% of the design and doing the serious work I know that the solemn work that will take far far more time is upon me and us..  So in the next week's I will be mostly focussing on the qml implementation that as already started and implementing a kinda Oxygen-demo UI showcase. After that I have to do something even more difficult... That is to find a a icon style that does the same that the UI style above did.. bring to today oxygen of yesterday. And fix any of its issues...

The air we see...

Today the great Marco Committed air into svn. Let me just tell you a bit about air, air is a direct descendant of the air wallpaper, I made the first sketch of it the same day I made the wallpaper, and it tries to make the people that found the Oxygen theme "to black" happy. There is no one fits all design, and hopefully with air we can make a wider spectrum of people love KDE. ( in the future I think we can still make a couple more themes) Its still we hope coherent, there are a lot of small details that are shared with oxygen both qt theme as plasma theme. That gives it a feeling of belonging as part of the same experience. We introduced a brand new element in plasma theming, a cropped background the is placed on the plasmoid canvas, (you will see this in the future taken to new heights as it opens a fantasist new set of opportunities to designers). Its transparent, people love transparent stuff :) (we did some effort to avoid contrast issues, but with certain wallp

Yeah do you want to help us create O². Most of the design concepts are done, but my C++ QtStyle foomagic is lower than zero ;) so muhhhh heee... do you want to help? Janet extraordinaire yesterday helped a bit and adjusted the old Oxygen painting to do a preliminary implementation of the noise O² needs for its background, but that is only the very beginning of what is needed. Also if you have experience in kirigami/plasma, styling. Designers are welcome as well...   If you do...... Just made this https://t.me/OxygenSquared for chatty chatty things.
