Personnaly I'd vote for yes, new user icons would be good (the kde ones, from the screenshot below, are indeed the one I find the most ugly). The "picture" way looks good to me, unless someone has a better idea concerning a set that would fit "oxygen" better, which the current does not. Does these icons *really* need to be scalable ? Are they actually scaled ? Hugo > Hi All, > every coupe of years I ask in this list if it is time to produce a nice set of User Icons. I produced a Set years ago which wasn't perfect, but still better that whats there today and at least it made a start . To understand better what I mean, I took a screen shot from all major Desktop OS and put it in my Wuala drive. > > https://www.wuala.com/hermann.thomas/Fotos/kde/?key=fM4NS4n2TeqL > > Please look at the KDE, Gnome, Win, and MAC Icons. KDE is definitely the worst. The Pics from Gnome are also better, but seem a little stolen for me.

But then why aren't all Wallpaper Vector Papers? Then someone said the old are nice and he likes them. Yes that might be true, but some people still like KDE2 and KDE has moved on. > > So please share some your thoughts and give feedback if it's worth the effort, or If I should wait another few years again to write to this list. > > > thanks, > Hermann ______________________________________________________________________________ [email protected] | https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-artists
