SKY icons

I'm dave, author of SKY icons for KDE.
You can download the latest 0.6.8 version at
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=3095

I'm promoting it here cause I wanna get most feedback, most suggestions, I need to know if you like it, hate it... :?:
The goal is to provide a complete icon-set, with all mime, actions, apps, devices etc. also if I know very well that most of KDE users are already happy with Crystal theme or Fusion theme.

bye

SKY icons

Ok, I took a look at your icons and there are good, I do like them but I still believe they are lacking something. Sorry but I can't quite put my finger on what it is, maybe it's sleekness. Very nice icons though, except for one, I hate the penguin, I think you could do a better job on it. There is the feedback you wanted. Oh and if you want a suggestion don't just make the standard icons set, make other apps icons too. Even some diffrent ones for diffrent distros!

XinMan :)

SKY icons

Ciao Dave ,
ho visto le tue icone ! (I've seen your icons)
They are beautiful in general but there are two thing i don't like so much :roll: :

1 - the folder look ; it's too plate for me , maybe something which gives more the idea of deepness (insomma un pò più 3D)

2 - the home icon is nice, but not totally convincing.

For the rest they look very nice, colors and design both.

Ciao
Darkghost

My feedback

I like 1-2-3-4-32 but 62 is really weird. That penguin has a disturbing look to it.

You don't have to look only the screenshots, the icons are a lot more, try install the full set and then tell me what do you think.

So, I just installed it and I have to say that they look really good.
I must also agree that the penguin has something "disturbing", pherhabs it's this "huh?" look of his eyes? The Icons don't look..well...refreshing. You could make the Folder-Icons a lillte bit more 3D, and so the other Icons, too. The Mozilla-Icon looks really flat, and I think you should make a Icon for the Control Center.
Conclusion: Try to make them look a little bit "fresher". But they are very good by now. I'll use them for a while and then I'll check back =)

opinion

in general, i very much like those icons! they are very clean and minimalistic, and some sort of opposite of other themes like Slick (and others), which is nice.. we need both!!!

and I don't really dislike the penguin *g* sorry guys ;)

Me neither. I don't really have any problems with the penguin. The rest of the icons look nice too. A more 3D look wouldn't hurt either though.

Maybe when I finish this theme I can do others based on SKY icons but changing only folders and maybe devices icons. I should also make a theme with the old foder style (look at :

Hi Dave,
i really like the style of folders in the old set 8)
the new set with the old way of making folders (3D folders) would be really great.

i made a couple of M$ mime extension icons for crystal, but i have been told they fit very nicely with Sky, as well.

Tell me what you think :)

Those look pretty nice. They should look great with most icon sets.
