Description Kubuntiac 2008-01-14 22:30:59 UTC

Version:           4.00.00 (KDE 4.0.0) (using KDE 4.00.00 (KDE 4.0.0), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.22-14-generic

A nice easy one for you guys, although I'll forgive if it's given ultra low priority :) Anyways...

I love Konqi's little animated icon that lets you know it's still loading (the one above the lose tab button).

The only thing is that in a right to left reading culture (ie English and any other latin based language) clockwise spinning is usually considered "forward" and anticlockwise is considered "backwards". Right now the animated logo spins backwards that suggests Konqueror is "unloading" the page.

I suggest just reversing the frames so users intuitively read the animation as Konqueror moving forwards.

Augh! Sorry, that should have been labled as "Wishlist" not bug. My oops.

Changing severity : bug -> wish

Comment 3 Andy Goossens 2008-08-06 03:09:09 UTC

I can confirm this. However, this is not an Konqueror issue, but a bug in Oxygen:

The animation at 22x22 size is wrong (= anti-clockwise). The animation for sizes 16x16, 32x32 and 48x48 are correct (= clockwise).

We are talking about the "process-idle-kde" icon.

Moving this issue from Konqueror to Oxygen.

Oh, I just noticed now this bug report...
I fixed the problem (basically the artwork from KDE 3.5 was not updated in KDE 4 too) some hours ago, r874014 for KDE 4.2 and r874015 for KDE 4.1.3.
