Version: (using KDE KDE 3.0.9) Installed from: Gentoo Packages kmail's current icon set for the folder tree is unfortunately a bit dull and really quite unlike all the other icons in the crystal scheme. icons to be needed would probably include: * inbox * outbox * sent mail * drafts * local folders * an imap mail host
and while you are at it.. the check mail in, reply, reply to all and farward icons are very hard to distinguish.. try and get the usability team to write some comments on what would be "intutive".. or at least what would look sufficiently different that ppl dont have to learn which is where by counting their way.. just my two cent.. otherwise a great app. thumbs up for that! /kidcat
My current kmail from CVS (orth's Debian SID Packages) has been using crystal like icons for some time now. I have uploaded a screenshot to http://www.dreker.de/kmail.jpg . Does that look better? Patrick

Subject: Re: kmail icons rather disimilar to other kde icons Indeed. The reporter ran KDE 3.0 and as you say, the crystal theme is just fine. I don't have time for maintaining the artwork entry at bugs.k.o properly :( I would gladly pass the baton. cheers, Frans citerar patrick@dreker.de: > ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- > You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. > > http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?idP946 > patrick@dreker.de changed: > > What |Removed |Added > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ > CC| |patrick@dreker.de > > > > ------- Additional Comments From patrick@dreker.de 2003-07-03 04:43 > ------- > My current kmail from CVS (orth's Debian SID Packages) has been using > crystal like icons for some time now.

No, this bug has not been fixed. The folder icons for * inbox * outbox * sent mail are still no crystal icons. They are mainly grey icons which look very different from crystal icons. And that's what this bug report is about.
Created attachment 2316 [details] Screen shot showing new kmail icons Progress! (se attachment) But _my_ feeling is that they all look TO MUCH the same now. Why do we have color displays? I once used a text terminal that made all text greenish - I guess that was a color terminal :-)
New crystalsvg icons are on CVS. And now all kmail icons look similar to others. Should we close this bug?
hmm, well they're a bit better :-), but tbh it just looks like someone has used gimps "make image blue" function on the old icons. where's the shading? where's the subtle grey outlines? the nice translucency? the slight cartoony feel? :-) imo they still look far too make like the old locolor icons for this bug to be closed :-/ gav
I agree. the icons look simply blue-tinted. tell me where can I get the sources of the images and how to send possible substitutions, I can find some time to send some suggestions. I also think that the first comment is pertinent. the "Reply", "Reply to All" and "Forward" icons look too much like each other. Should another bug be filed for them, or they can be dealt with here? is it all right if I simlpy add some artwork as an attachment in this bug?
Subject: Re: kmail icons rather disimilar to other kde icons I doubt that the sources of the old images still exist. And, yes, feel free to add artwork as attachment to this bug report.
Created attachment 2378 [details] trashcan empty 16 All the trashcan images have absolutely 0% creativeness. they are the crystalsvg scaleable icons exported by sodipodi. others will follow suit. The trashcan could reflect its contents, don you think?
Created attachment 2379 [details] trashcan empty 22
Created attachment 2380 [details] trashcan empty 32
Created attachment 2381 [details] trashcan empty 48
Created attachment 2382 [details] trashcan empty 64
Created attachment 2383 [details] trashcan empty 128
I know they are not quite the original subject of this bug, but I was researching on previous artwork to take advantage of it and "gather inspiration and thematic attunement", and found out that the trash icon does not look like a trash icon at all, and is different from the trashcan. well, here it is. NOTE: there is no trash can for the 22 x 22 "filesystem" setting. How can this one be put there? I file another bug? Or the "fixer" of this bug will do it?
*** Bug 54436 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
To my opinion this bug can be CLOSED, because kmail 1.5.94 does have now default kde icons.
No for example "Reply to Mailing List" icon is still old.
Kmail has new icons. This bug is fixed
