Hi da-flow

It's me again, the dude who always whines :)
Just wanted to ask, if you have done ANY work on the new version of Sparkling? You mentioned you plan to do a whole new iconset with svg and stuff.. Anything done yet?

You are a too good artist to work on windows icons :P Please work more on kde iconset! :P

Cheers!

Yes there is a whole new set which i started some time ago. Currently there are only a few icons.

But take a look at it over at deviantArt.
Here is the link: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16593147/

Enjoy the look and i AM working/finished with the amarok icon redesign.

gonna send you an overworked/tweaked new version soon.

That is great!

PS: i must admit, the new iconset is nice, but its not sparkling :( I don't like the stripes on them. But the rest is awsome!

Read the above post for clarification about this issue.

Sorry again, for the problems.

Take your time ... and think at the following ;) :

What about having your home icon folder green coloured?

like in Nuvola:

its coming along very slowly i haven't done any work on it for a long time..

Too much pressure in my education,girlfriend,life asf.

Use more time on Sparkling and Girlfriend, dump education and life :P

I love your work, but it needs more icons!
Any possibility to get something like a "CVS" version? in the sence, that give me what you got so far? :)

Your true and loyal fan,
Xatax

One of my big problems considering sparkling is that its all done with bitmaps, like gimp or photoshop produces and no SVG.

So if i continue Sparkling it off course makes sense, but it wont be usable very long cause what i know future KDE versions will use SVG files (vector graphics) as standard icons. :(

Im considering to start a whole new set for KDE, but when i will start i don't know.
Don't give up on Sparkling though, im trying to find time and motivation for it, but at the moment im stuck in a very depressive time in life..

Things are very troubling and dark.. im
trieng to get it all cleared out, but the f**ing thing called life wont let me. :|

Greets and a lot of thanks for the great support.

I try to install the iconset using the provided instructions, and I get "File XXX is not a valid icon archive"... any thoughts? This happens on every file I try...

flow
14 years ago

many ppl make the mistake that they first extract the files and then try to install.. WRONG

1. Goto K-Control/icons
2.Just select the whole .tar.gz file and hit "install"

Finished ;)

Hi Flow!
Still the best iconset i have seen!
But, i would just like to ask, have you done some work on it lately?
Could you just give us some info of what and WHEN to expect to see the 0.6 or perhaps 0.5.1 version?

Thanks in advance!

flow

I have to sadly admit its coming along very slowly i haven't done any work on it for a long time..

Too much pressure in my education,girlfriend,life asf.

But its gonna come even if its in half a year. :) (not that this is what i expect, i hope i have time for it in the next holidays and they are in 2 weeks)

Hi Da-Flow,

There is a great "technical" site called the "NETWORK-INTEGRATED MULTIMEDIA MIDDLEWARE", they have had contact with the KDE multimedias developers. They also have a nice "icon page" which reminds me of your xmms icon, which I think could evolve later into the same kind of multimedia icon.

http://www.networkmultimedia.org/NMM/index.html
(See top-right of the page)

Just some thought :|
