<BLOCKQUOTE>Hello KDE artists, &nbsp; 
I have seen a lot of discussion about me, my work and KDE and decided to write some \
points that I would like to make known by everyone. &nbsp; 
1-I&#8217;m not a KDE enemy. 
 I&#8217;ve been working for three years, every day for KDE and wasn&#8217;t few \
the number of night without sleep that I&#8217;ve dedicated to this project. This was \
KDE before I start to work on it <a \

and this is KDE nowadays <a \

&lt;<a \
href="http://kdelook.org/content/pre1/25668-1.jpg">http://kdelook.org/content/pre1/25668-1.jpg</a>&gt; \
. A lot of things have changed since I started. I&#8217;ve done thousands of graphics \
for KDE and I believe that I can surely say that no other artist, even Trackat that \
was the artist that most contributed to KDE and that is my inspirations for many of \
my works, contributed with as many graphics as I did. I did it not expecting for \
money, disclosure or anything else. I did it for my desk top, some people like it and \
then the thing was spread. 2- \
&nbsp;I&#8217;m in love with KDE. This is the reason for \
me to dedicate so much time to this project. It is also the reason I&#8217;ve never \
stopped to work for KDE and why I never will. I get nothing but personal \
realization, so please don&#8217;t think KDE is doing me a favor. \
 3- \
&nbsp;&nbsp;I&#8217;M NOT RICH. I&#8217;M NOT RICH. I \
mention twice the last sentence so you can really understand that. I don&#8217;t \
count with someone to take care of my living while I&#8217;m drawing icons for KDE. I \
need to eat (believe me! the body is a frail thing and if it don&#8217;t get feed it \
may die, it is also not invulnerable to the weather changes and it needs clothes, so \
I need money to provide me this kind of things) and if you can&#8217;t understand \
this, it is maybe because you don&#8217;t live in a country that still have enormous \
social differences among its people like Brazil. I&#8217;M NOT RICH and this is the \
reason why I have to work and can&#8217;t dedicate myself full time for KDE. \
I&#8217;M NOT RICH and this is the reason why I sometimes have no time to read all \
the emails that are sent to this email list. I&#8217;M NOT RICH and because that \
I&#8217;ve never take an English curse to make my communication with you guys \
better. I&#8217;M NOT RICH and this is the reason I&#8217;ve never went to college. \
I&#8217;M NOT RICH and because of that I&#8217;ve never went to one of the KDE \
international conventions. 4- \
Codes and fonts? There are such things for \
images? Where are the KDE fonts and wallpapers files? Where are the fonts codes of \
KDE splashes? The codes of Office splashes? I don&#8217;t think it was a problem when \
they was included in the official packages. Sincerely, if you can&#8217;t edit a \
128x128 .png I think maybe you should rethink about your designer abilities. But even \
I&#8217;ve considered this a completely non sense request I&#8217;ll send it as soon \
I can get my files organized. However you have to understand that not all the icons \
were developed in as vector file the greater part was made in pixels 128 x128 and \
then sizes up in to the small sizes so you may not get much vector files of the \
icons. 5- SGV. I use Adobe Illustrator to develop the \
vectors files. You may don&#8217;t like this, if is so, I would ask you to create an \
opensource program that include the same A.I. facilities e tools and I will happily \
use it. The SVGs created by A.I CS are not supported by the KDE, I know that some \
technical problems exist but remember, I&#8217;m not technician I&#8217;m a \
designer/illustrator. The fact is that the icons developed in A.I. are not well \
supported by KDE and this is the reason why I have decided for developing the icons \
in .png. Another import fact is that the vector icons when sized up automatically do \
not maintain a nice visual in the small sizes. Maybe a good solution for that should \
be create a kind of SVG file for the KDE icons that include a simplified icons that \
would be used in smaller sizes and another , with more details, that would be used \
for bigger files. Anyways on the next days I&#8217;ll be launching a new icon theme \
called &#8220;Vectorial&#8221; that will be entirely made in SGV and will use \
outlines for a better visualization of the smaller sizes, however this is not a \
visual that I like. I really think that the vector icons are the future, a proof of \
that is that Microsoft will use this technology on Longhorn <a \

unfortunately, I have not found anything good for Linux yet. &nbsp; 
To conclude, I would like to say that have always been a great honor to contribute \
with KDE. A lot of people are happy with Crystal and a proof of that is the large \
number of downloads and the material that are launched all the time by people that \
are not from KDE taken Crystal as an inspiration. I really think that if you are not \
grateful for what you have you don&#8217;t deserve what you do have. If you \
don&#8217;t like the Crystal you are not forced to use it and please, if you \
don&#8217;t have something relevant to say please, don&#8217;t waist our time. To all \
you that have done a great work for KDE and for the community wait for the next few \
days the vector files. &nbsp; 
Thank you from all my heart, 
Everaldo
