Re: [kde-artists] User Icons

OK I have figured out some nice Icons. All Pictures are from Håkan Dahlström from Sweden. He must get the credits. Will the creative Commons License be OK. He asked that this would be his favourite? 

You can also give Feedback on the Set I chose. You can again find it in my Wuala drive

I Need to work on some Icons to give them a little more contrast and enhance some colours. I Also used a bigger resolution. I found out that KDE scales them quite nicely, so I will probably make them 120x120px. 

So If you can give Feedback on the license than this can be ready for 4.8  if there is still no feature freeze or anything like that.
