This page has always been at the kde-artist icon guide, but not in the menu. I 
always overlooked it...

http://artist.kde.org/zoom.html

A quote: 

"
As the 128x128-versions are "closer" to the user you may also add some details 
that don't change the look of the icon completely. Also you may use a 
*little* bit more realistic colors. But the overall-experience should stay 
the same! These "zoom-icons" have to scale extremly well. So you have to use 
parallel perspective and the icon has to match the shape of the existing icon 
as exact as possible! Furthermore these icons lack any black outline/border 
(These would look blurry if scaled). Instead we will add 
alpha-channeled-shadows. Please do not add this "outline-shadow" yourself! We 
will do it once all icons are done using a script. 
"

Well here is the reason the outline was dropped. But what happened to the 
"alpha-channeled-shadows"? 

No concept for a sharp border was used at all once kde went svg...

Cordialemente,

Ante
