| Compared to Sky

Which I really liked (because of the clarity and outlining) these are good icons, but not in my taste.
It is a bit sad to hear you will not continue the path of Sky Icons, but of course these will surely appeal to a lot of people (who also like Crystal and XP type Icons)..
I wish some KDE icondesigner would opt for the cleaner / stricter type of icons again. Admittedly Hicolor and the likes were never _very pretty_ but they were clear and nice. The oulining makes things that much better for icons, IMHO..
But, good luck with this set :) |

My previous comments only apply to the 64x64 icons, I haven't had time to checkout all the others yet..

Here is some critique. Only my personal feelings, and I must say this iconset is among the top, thats why I commented so thoroughly :)
apps :
- hwinfo (too much difference from most sets, not obvious meaning)
- kcmdrkonqui (not very obvious what the icon symbolizes)
- kedit (looks like a gfx program, not an editor, probably because it looks like a brush, not a pencil)
- kmail (does not look like a mail app, more like a newspaper ?! the @ is not obvious enough, took me many views to understand)
- konqueror (looks too "generic" not specific, maybe add some "land" on the globe?! something like the locale icon would do well :)
- kpackage (looks like a rubiks cube game, not a package.. the package feeling is not obvious enough. Maybe more similar to package ?)
- package_settings (what is the meaning of this icon? aha, a lever of some kind.. see below)
devices :
- cdwriter (could this be better red ? red as for burning / flame colour ?)
filesystems :
- exec (looks like settings ? maybe a gear style icon would be better here ?)
mimetypes :
- deb (does not look like it belongs with the others)
- message (same as the kmail icon really, not clear enough it is a mail we are talking about)
- pdf (what is the meaning of this icon ?)
- recycled (not obvious meaning)
- rpm (again like deb, does not look like it belongs with the other icons)
- shellscript (what is the meaning of this ?)
- source (not clear meaning?)
(better with language icons on top, makes it very obvious..)
- source_pl (making the pearl a different colour would enhance the effect I think?)
- tar (same as with the kpackage icon, not clearly enough looking like a package)
- vcard (looks more like an expansion PCI card than a businesscard?)
General comments :
Settings control knobs do not look good when there is only one knob, two (like remote.png) looks much better
The different editor icons are maybe a little bit too different ?
Could the key look clearer if it was a brighter colour ?
requests :
please please can we have a kvim / vim icon and a phoenix icon ?
Thanks for creating this, I am not using it now, but could very well do at some point ! :) |

As of now the most consistent and usable iconset must be your SKY icons. I really like them for several reasons :
- Clean
- Bordered (adds to cleanliness)
- Pretty
Crystal and such are nice icons, they look flashy, but are not really that usable for the main purpose an icon has. Recognition of what it is representing.
Kudos for your work, and please do continue ! Someone in the KDE development team should take notice of these icons soon, and include the set in KDE.
