Kollaborations to Take Note of
Kollaborations for KDE 3.5 artwork has been started. This is a great opportunity to contribute to the default look and feel of KDE. At a recent IRC meeting it was decided to improve the colours in the about:konqueror pages of 3.4 and reuse some of the elements. It was also decided to take the wave element and use it as a common theme throughout 3.5. At this point we need various versions of the wave element so as to achieve a better fit with the the interface as a whole.
Kontact has started a Kollaboration board, Make Kontact Sexy, for new icons and elements to spice up their corporate look. There will be an upcoming contest to create a new logo and icon for Kontact.
Our newest Kollaboration board is for Ept, a new Debian package manager. Suggestions for application icon welcome.
