Greetings all,

I'm being entertained in the off hours through work on a KDE 2 theme (my 
first). At the moment, I'm nearing completion on the 22x22 action icons. My 
goal is to use color as a visual cue and to present a more inviting and 
friendly feel. I'm happy to say that I think my experiments are quite 
successful, and (although I feel wierd saying this) I actually enjoy using 
KDE more with the new aesthetic I'm helping create on my machine. 

Anyway, take a look:

Is there a good source for documentation on correctly setting up a KDE 2 
theme? Is mosfet.org the best place? I want to experiment with title bar 
manipulation and such. By the way, what happened to Mosfet? He used to update 
his site frequently, and it has been stagnanting. 

Who are the original designers of the KDE2 action icons? Is it Torsten alone 
or are there others too? I want to credit them appropriately, because I'm 
using them as a basis for these new icons and am only substantially changing 
the color and masking style.

Sean.
