In particular, there's no need to quote the entire message including the request to Luke to not quote excessively in order to add a comment about another specific icon.

Are you suggesting to change KNewsTicker's icon to the newspaper? Or just that KNode's icon isn't very representative? Don't forget that the most important thing about an icon is that it is _identifiable_ (and possibly intuitively represents what the file/application/object is/does), so going around changing icons on existing apps is something that should not be done lightly. Use a different icon theme if you will, assuming any of the non-crystal/fallback hicolor ones are complete. _______________________________________________ kde-pim mailing list kde-pim@mail.kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-pim kde-pim home page at http://pim.kde.org/
