The other ones are as unfriendly (for me) I'd rather replace them with something else. > Forget my icon, but I really think that people who use an application > will easily learn to associate its icon with application (and doesn't > matter how abstract the icon is). You need it - you'll learn it. Of course, but what is then the sense of an icon? -- I mean regarding usability.

How about a magnified K? This way it would also be recognizable as KDE app: Also, the effect of pixel-blocks is IMHO typical for kmag. --512586620-1804289383-1012404421=:1031 Content-Type: IMAGE/X-XPIXMAP; NAME="kmag2.xpm" Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64 Content-Disposition: INLINE; FILENAME="kmag2.xpm" LyogWFBNICovCnN0YXRpYyBjaGFyKmttYWcyW109ewoiMzIgMzIgNDEgMSIs CiJDIGMgI2Q3ZDdkMyIsCiJrIGMgI2ZiZmJmOSIsCiJnIGMgI2RiZGJkYSIs CiJIIGMgI2ZkZmRmYSIsCiJEIGMgI2EwYTBhMCIsCiJLIGMgI2RkZGRkYiIs CiJCIGMgI2VhZWFlNyIsCiJGIGMgI2Y3ZjdmMyIsCiJiIGMgIzdkN2Q3OCIs CiJkIGMgIzlkOWQ5ZCIsCiJxIGMgI2Y1ZjVmMyIsCiJBIGMgI2ZkZmRmYiIs CiJ1IGMgI2VmZWZlYyIsCiJHIGMgI2VhZWFlOCIsCiJjIGMgIzkwOTA4YyIs CiJhIGMgIzY4Njg2NSIsCiIjIGMgIzU1NTU1MiIsCiJlIGMgIzM2MzYzNiIs CiJ2IGMgIzAwMDAwMCIsCiJJIGMgI2ZkZmRmYyIsCiJsIGMgI2Q0ZDRkMiIs CiJMIGMgI2I3YjhiNCIsCiJFIGMgI2YxZjFlZSIsCiJzIGMgI2Q3ZDZkMyIs CiJuIGMgI2U3ZTdlNiIsCiJ0IGMgI2Y0ZjRmMiIsCiJmIGMgIzMwMzAzMCIs CiJoIGMgI2VlZWVlYiIsCiIuIGMgTm9uZSIsCiJ5IGMgI2U5ZTllNyIsCiJv IGMgI2VkZWRlZSIsCiJtIGMgI2Y5ZjlmNyIsCiJpIGMgI2YzZjNmMCIsCiJy IGMgIzU4NTg1OCIsCiJ6IGMgI2ZiZmJmOCIsCiJ4IGMgI2VhZWFlYiIsCiJ3 IGMgI2ZmZmZmZiIsCiJwIGMgI2ZlZmVmYyIsCiJKIGMgI2Y5ZjlmOCIsCiJN IGMgIzYyNjE1ZSIsCiJqIGMgI2Y4ZjhmNSIsCiIuLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4u Li4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4u Li4uLi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLiIs CiIuLi4uLi4jYWJjZC5lLi4uLi4uLi5lZS4uLi4uLi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLmZn aGlqa2xlLi4uLi4uLmVtbmVlLi4uLi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLmZvcHBwcGxlLi4u Li4uZXBwcHBwZS4uLi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLmZvcHBwcGxlLi4uLi5lcXBwcHBw cnIuLi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLmZvcHBwcHNlLi4uLmV0cHBwcHB1ZS4uLi4uLiIs CiIuLi4uLmZvcHBwdnZ2dnZ2dnZ2dnZ2dnZ2dnZ2di4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLmZv cHBwdmYuLi5mZmZwcHBwcHBwcGZmdi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLmZvcHBwdmYuLi5m ZnBwcHBwcHBwd2Zmdi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLmZvcHBwdmYuLmZmeHBwcHBwcHBm Zi4udi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLmZvcHBwdmYuLmZmcHBwcHBwcHdmZi4udi4uLiIs CiIuLi4uLmZvcHBwdmZmZmZwcHBwcHBwZmYuLi4udi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLmZv cHBwdmZmZmZwcHBwcHBwZmYuLi4udi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLmZvcHBwdmZmd3Bw cHBwcHBmZi4uLi4udi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLmZvcHBwdmZmcHBwcHBwcHdmZi4u Li4udi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLmZvcHBwdnBwcHBwcHBwZmYuLi4uLi4udi4uLiIs CiIuLi4uLmZvcHBwdnBwcHBwcHBwZmYuLi4uLi4udi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLmZv cHBwdnBwcHBwcHBmZi4uLi4uLi4udi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLmZvcHBwdnZ2dnZ2 dnZ2dnZ2dnZ2dnZ2di4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLmZvcHBwcHllLi5lenBwcHBBZS4u Li4uLi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLmZvcHBwcEJlLi4uZXBwcHBwcWUuLi4uLi4uLiIs CiIuLi4uLmZvcHBwcEJlLi4uZUNwcHBwcERlLi4uLi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLmZv cHBwcEJlLi4uLmVFcHBwcHBlRC4uLi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLmZvcHBwcEJlLi4u Li5lRnBwcHBwZS4uLi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLmZvcHBwcEdlLi4uLi4uZUhwcHBJ ZS4uLi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLmZvSUpFS0xlLi4uLi4uZXVBTWVlLi4uLi4uLiIs CiIuLi4uLi5mZmZmZmYuLi4uLi4uLmVlZS4uLi4uLi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLi4u Li4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4u Li4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLiIsCiIuLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4uLi4u Li4uLi4uLiJ9Owo= --512586620-1804289383-1012404421=:1031 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-Disposition: INLINE -- G.Milde@physik.tu-dresden.de --512586620-1804289383-1012404421=:1031-- _______________________________________________ kde-artists mailing list kde-artists@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-artists
