Icons


Recommended Posts

Well, If I was to make a set of KDE Icons, that would take alot of time to finish off and I'm simply running out of time. If I do get the time I might have a shot at it.

Oh I and just sent the Icons to you Barney.

MXV

Btw. Is there a list of what KDE Icons need doing? would be pretty handy having.

We would just like a custom set... of your choosing. And I got the icons... they're beautiful! :yes:

Cool icons, thanks for gziping them...now this is an ubern00b question, how do you edit individual icons...such as the Computer, home and such in Gnome? I'm used to dragging and dropping the tar into the themes box...but VERY nice work and thanks a lot!

Thanks, what exactly are you trying to edit? the filenames or the Icons themselfs?

This is what I found:

Just a quick update on this HOWTO. Gnome 2.18 hit Lenny last night, and sure enough, my previously customized Debian icon was blown away. No problem, I thought, I will just redo it. I had always used the old method (copy my icon over /usr/share/pixmaps/gnome-logo-transparent-icon.png), but that no longer worked. No problem, I thought, I remember that Rickh wrote a HOWTO with another method to do this, and I will go use his method. Unfortunately, that didn't work for me at all either. (In a nutshell, in case anyone else has trouble: "Use custom icon" only works for menu-object or drawer-object items, and my menu has a menu-bar item there. Maybe it does matter if you use the menu-applet, but I haven't tested that.)

After a little time with Google and the help of this thread from the Gnome support site, I now know why Rick and I weren't able to use the old copy method: the icon is no longer sourced from /usr/share/pixmaps etc. In 2.18, the icon is sourced from /usr/share/icons/themename/scalable/places/gnome-main-menu.svg, where themename is just whatever icon theme you use - e.g. gnome, Tango, Wasp. That in turn is a symbolic link to /usr/share/icons/themename/size/places/start-here.png where themename and size are variables for your icon theme and the pixel size of the menubar.

I shrank my preferred icon (same as my avatar here) to 22x22 and copied that over /usr/share/icons/gnome/22x22/places/start-here.png, and that worked like a charm.

Not exactly the answer to all the questions here, but it is a start

Okay, I know stuff was supposed to be done by the 15th but I've been dealing with computer troubles and lots of stress at home and just bunches of things so I haven't really had the time to do what I want. Anyways, got time now and here is a teaser:

More images to come later.

Your teaser, it...it makes me want more! :D Well, if anything, I love the DVD/CD icon!

Oh, and the contest begins (submissions are due) on the 20th...but don't let time pressure you...I think the cut off will be around the 27th to get into RC1, and if your set is as good as your teaser, it would get my vote!

Thanks guys! Looks like I won't be able to continue to work on these until tomorrow (more home and computer [mom's not mine]) stuff got in the way but okay I'm hoping these will be done on the 20th. And trust me, I'll be spending lots of time on each icon. See I want to kinda shed the whole "Linux/Open Source" look and make it look, well, damn good. I want people to look at our stuff and say "Wow, does that look nice!". So I'll post updates here when I roll out new icons. All icons are 256x256 so we can do whatever we want with 'em =D

I've been digging around Gnome stuff, still haven't found a nice icon directory, but I've downloaded a Gnome Tango icon theme to see how things are supposed to be layed out.

Now I could go on with doing that, but the question is, what icon theme do we use as a basis, because I don't think MaX wants to do every single icon (gaim icon?)...so we would use new icons, but for the ones MaX didn't make, what would we use? My personal suggestion is to use the Unofficial Tango icons (link), and then switch up the icons made by members.

Damn...take your time...will you be making this into an installable icon theme via Gnome? Just asking...not saying you have to or anything. (I personally like the shedding of the open source community = crap...haha that's why we're making Shift, right?)

I don't have much experience with icon sets and stuff, but I could probably find a tutorial out there and do it, yeah.

Hey guys.... I merged the 3 different icon threads because it was too hard trying to go through all of them and figuring out where we stood. I personally think we should develop our own set of Shift Linux icons to use. I also think that it would be great to add the icons that we make here to the contest, so that members can vote on them too.

The big art contest will include an icon vote, so everyone should at least upload a concept of their icons to the Shift Art Site, if they can get the set finished by November.

And yeah, I'll finish Shift Up if it does well in the contest.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
