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?
We have a manually updated list which controls the copying and renaming.
The list is attached. Probably we should manage this list and the copy
scripts for this also in subversion.
- 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)
No, I think the most icons should exist. In my opinion KDE includes
icons by there name. There is no additional mapping. So each icon theme
creator tries to name the icons by the same scheme. But also for common
icons there are some missing things (especially in "kids" for example).
Currently our script automatically fall-back to crystalsvg and use the
missing icons from this theme. This also means that all icons we use in
qooxdoo must exist in crystalsvg.
This fall-back is done in this script and not online because we have no
possibility to check if an image is available on the server. This also
means that there are currently some duplicated images in the icons folder.
We only try to include icons theme packages which have included 80
percent of the common icons. The most themes published at kde-look.org
don't satisfy with this requirement.
- 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.
We don't create the icons by our own. The most icons are available in
16, 22, 32 and 48 sizes. Some of them which are only used as mimetypes
and so on are the most times only available in smaller sizes. I don't
think this is a problem.
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.
The name of the images in crystalsvg would be really helpful for inclusion.
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...
I agree that we should try to have icons for the most common icons.
There will be always images you need to create your own, especially for
more complex-applications with some special features, which couldn't be
represented by standard icons.
It would be great if someone could write an article about this topic in
our documentation.
