Oxygen icons : A few mistakes
by Maximilien on Tuesday 08/Jan/2008, @20:22
Hi there,

I just wanted to highlight a few things that I consider as mistakes in the oxygen icon set, and especially on this screenshot : http://picasaweb.google.com/mmauder/KDE400/photo#5152345685276228690

- The arrow buttons (go back/go forward) don't fit at all with the others icons. They seem to have been taken from a bad GNOME icon set... :/

- The trash is not really usable, since it is just too hard to see if it empty or not. Furthermore, because the colors are exactly the same, it seems to be part of the hard drives.

- Why are the hard drives inclined, and the usb key all vertical ? I mean, they are all volumes, so why not make them look similar ? I would be far more intuitive.



To finish with, I would like to focus on this screenshot : http://picasaweb.google.com/mmauder/KDE400/photo#5152342502705462338

See the splashscreen window ?
-Why does it have square black edges on the top coming out of the round white outline ?

- Why does the white outline suddenly disappear on the right side but continue on the left side ?

- Why are the bottom edges square while the top edges are round ?


That's all I can say for the moment. The rest of Oxygen is just great :)

Insightful comments! Try adding them here so that the devs don't overlook them:
