TODO: Finish the icons and themes


Please consider the KDE_1_1_BRANCH to be frozen!

This means that changes to the code are only allowed if

- they fix critical bugs
- they have been approved by at least two developers

Changes that do not match these criteria will be reverted.

Exceptions from this rule are only translations,
documentations and additions by the artists team.


TODO: Test the KDE_1_1_BRANCH


Now that the code is frozen, please check it out and test it
on as many machines and OSes as possible to ensure everything
is working.

Coolo made tarballs of the current KDE_1_1_BRANCH availabe via
ftp.kde.org, so everybody is encouraged to get the stuff and
give it a try.



CRITICAL:


- Output of the artist team

Current state (estimated): 
 -95% of the 48x48pixel-hicolor-icons are done.
 -40 % of the 32x32pixel-hicolor-icons are done
  (These take *much* less time than the large icons) 
 -30 % of the themes are done.

about 150 HiColor-Icons should be in CVS right now. (KDE 1.x-branch
only.)

 The following modules already contain a full set of HiColor-Icons:
 
 -kdegraphics
 -korganizer

As we also will provide a set of 40-color-icons
we are still searching for well-experienced artists who would
like to help us by converting some of the hicolor icons down
to 40 colors (Note: Converting does *not* mean that you should
dither them down. -- We would ask you to repaint the icons
that were redesigned using the kde-40-color palette .)

 

- Theme manager

Waldo Bastion volunteered to implement the "save" option for
the theme manager. Thanks Waldo!



FOR NON-ARTISTS: We will follow the release plan as closely as
possible nevertheless. As the icons will not need code
changes, we can add them after all translations are done etc.
So please proceed as planned. Starting ext week the
translations should be brought uptodate, if this is necessary.



Bye,
Matthias.
