Description Unknown 2009-09-08 16:28:11 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I downloaded the latest oxygen-icon theme from SVN (svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/kdesupport/oxygen-icons/scalable), and started browsing it with Gwenview.

Here are those which have some glitches in them:
- in actions: go-jump(.svgz), irc-join-channel
- in apps: accessories-dictionary, akonadi, device-notifier, korgac, kthesaurus, ktip, ktorrent, preferences-desktop-accessibility, preferences-desktop-default-applications, preferences-desktop-icons, preferences-desktop-keyboard, preferences-desktop-locale, preferences-desktop-notification, preferences-desktop-text-to-speech, preferences-system-power-management, quassel, strigi, utilities-desktop-extra
- in categories: applications-development-translation, applications-education-language, applications-engineering, applications-games, applications-graphics, applications-office, applications-other, preferences-desktop, preferences-system, system-help
-in devices: media-flash, media-optical-*, scanner
-in mimetypes: application-x-bittorrent, application-x-java-applet, application-x-lyx, application-x-m4, application-x-marble, application-x-mswrite, application-x-qet-project, audio-prs.sid, image-x-adobe-dng, message-new, odf, text-rdf, text-x-bibtex, text-x-makefile, text-x-tex, uri-*
- in places: repository, user-desktop
- in status: dialog-information, mail-re*

It looks like there's a problem with the z-order.

It will get a bit better with Qt 4.6, but clipping and filters (such as blur for shadows), are not supported in Qt's SVG implementation.

It is recommended to use the (Inkscape-generated) PNG icons.

(Closed, because Nokia will probably not implement anything better than SVG Tiny 1.2.)
