I agree, I would have enjoy to use KDE throught low bandwidth network but the minimum 18 bpp is too much.
Please put back the 8bpp display.

The 8 bpp-icons have just been (re-)added to kdeartwork.

Uhm? You have to install a "locolor" _theme_ to get _some_ locolor icons!? I think that's not acceptable! I hardly believe an admin can tell _any_ user of his Solaris network that he has to activate a special theme when new KDE becomes default (under this circumstances I believe it will never become it).
And there are many many icons missing. In K-menu (Development, Office, Toys, Word-Processing, Game-Submenus), application icons (e.g. Kate), all new entries of control center, KWord lacks half of it's icons. I stop here to summarize.
Better think of an automated process which regularly locates and creates all missing locolor-icons by dithering and installs them under $KDEDIR/share/icons/locolor/ .
Sorry, Tackat but it looks like a quick bad shot.

Actually KDE should switch automatically to the locolor-icontheme if it is available just the same way KDE 2.1 did.

Feel free to take care of this task. The locolor-icons were removed from kdelibs/base because they weren't maintained actively anymore.

Well in that case dithering the remaining hicolor-icons on the fly is certainly the better solution.

KDE 2.1 did this!? I tested switching to an 8bpp display with an existing and a new KDE user: Both times KDE 2.2 did NOT install [a part of (the icons)] the existing "LoColor" KThemeMgr theme. I think you are confusing something:
All my KDE 2.1 installations don't contain a "Locolor.ktheme"-file. The locolor icons are installed in $KDEDIR/share/icons/locolor as fallback for the IconLoader. There is no kthememgr theme installed which would copy the icons to ~/.kde/share/icons/locolor (robbing the users' quotas). Please change kdeartwork's Makefile to install the icons in $KDEDIR/share/icons/locolor rather than creating a ktheme-file which has to be installed manually!

I agree, but I guess we don't will see this included in KDE 2.2. :-(

Great! I noticed today that linking the 'locolor' dir to the 'hicolor' dir will do the same trick inclusive dithering.
But there is a bug: If you install the locolor-icon theme it stops working! I would expect it to search first user's locolor-icons followed by system-wide locolor-icons and last dithering system-wide highcolor-icons.

In what sense ?

You seem to be still using hicolor as your icon theme. Go to KControl->Look&Feel->Icons and select locolor as your icon theme.
About #26618, the application cannot assume that locolor is installed anymore, so this is a problem in the application installation.

In the locolor-icon theme missing icons are not dithered anymore. As soon as I apply it e.g. the Kate icon in Kicker changes to "unknown" icon. After "dcop kicker restart" e.g. the icons of the game-submenus changed to "unknown" icon too.

No, "KDE-LoColor, Lowcolor Icon Theme" is selected. Applying it again, doesn't change anything either.

Aaah, I see. You're right, that's a real problem (but different from #26618). Thanks for reporting it.
It's fixed now. Please update your locolor theme from the kdeartwork module.
