How about if we set some guidelines for icon submission?
Rather than have our gurus spending their valuable time tracking
down 16x16 and 32x32 bitmap images, wouldn't it be better if we
knew what the criteria were for a valid icon so we could track
them down ourselves?
Sebastian, can you answer these questions:
- does a QX icon have to be named the same as the original
in the Crystal, nuvola, and kids icon sets? For instance,
if Kent wants an info icon, is it OK if we find one called
"help.png" in the crystal set and "information.png" in the
nuvola set, and then just rename them to "info.png" in QX?
Or are you trying to adhere to a naming convention from the
KDE world?
- does every icon have to exist in all three themes? (my guess
would be "yes", so that you can easily switch between themes
without breaking images)
- do we need all sizes for all icons? Is it OK if we find
an icon that only has 16x16 versions? It would be ideal
if you always have a 32x32 version for every 16x16 icon
that you use, but not critical.
I think if we understood the philosophy behind QX icons and how
Sebastian wants them to relate to the original icon sets, we could
search the icon sets for icons that we need and submit them
for inclusion.
I, for instance, find that the icons included with QX could use
"up", "down", "left", and "right", among others. For now, I just
reference my own icons. But at a certain point, if you use too
many of your own icons, you can't really make use of themes
anymore. Themes are not _critical_, but they are very cool from
the "eye candy" standpoint, and might help make an application more
fun for the end users...
