Oxygen is getting more and more exiting, well at lest I'm getting very confident on all the work we are doing .
Today Riccardo and Casper shown me some nice screen shots of the state of the theme and i must say I'm beginning to rely like, it its getting there.
Also in the plasmoids front lots of work done and a brand new vision for k4, hope we are able to implement it.
Also had a glimpse at the new Oxygen site David and Ricardo are working on, it is amazing it will be much more collaborative than the one we have right now, and also updated ;).
Seams everybody is going to Glasgow for Akademy :( i wont be able to be there. Hope i can next year.

Hay, that globe looks sweet, but this big its obvious it is nicely centered on the USA. While most KDE people (indeed, most people, really) do not live there.

Any chance of having it centered on Europe? Or even have a localized set?

Cheers!

hi all.anonymous i was thinking the same! a problem icon artist must solve is to provide universal symbols. Wouldnt it be easier and most concise if a localization system existed also for icons. This wouldnt have to affect all icons but some high culture, language or enviroment dependent. hmm...

Design done...

Hello again, so I believe I am 90% done with the base style direction and main UI components for O², and am currently struggling with my not so bright idea of dinamic QML colour pallets.  Still overall I'm happy with the general visual direction of the UI style, it's IMO clearly derivative of Oxygen but today.  Now having done 90% of the design and doing the serious work I know that the solemn work that will take far far more time is upon me and us..  So in the next week's I will be mostly focussing on the qml implementation that as already started and implementing a kinda Oxygen-demo UI showcase. After that I have to do something even more difficult... That is to find a a icon style that does the same that the UI style above did.. bring to today oxygen of yesterday. And fix any of its issues...

The air we see...

Today the great Marco Committed air into svn. Let me just tell you a bit about air, air is a direct descendant of the air wallpaper, I made the first sketch of it the same day I made the wallpaper, and it tries to make the people that found the Oxygen theme "to black" happy. There is no one fits all design, and hopefully with air we can make a wider spectrum of people love KDE. ( in the future I think we can still make a couple more themes) Its still we hope coherent, there are a lot of small details that are shared with oxygen both qt theme as plasma theme. That gives it a feeling of belonging as part of the same experience. We introduced a brand new element in plasma theming, a cropped background the is placed on the plasmoid canvas, (you will see this in the future taken to new heights as it opens a fantasist new set of opportunities to designers). Its transparent, people love transparent stuff :) (we did some effort to avoid contrast issues, but with certain wallp

Yeah do you want to help us create O². Most of the design concepts are done, but my C++ QtStyle foomagic is lower than zero ;) so muhhhh heee... do you want to help? Janet extraordinaire yesterday helped a bit and adjusted the old Oxygen painting to do a preliminary implementation of the noise O² needs for its background, but that is only the very beginning of what is needed. Also if you have experience in kirigami/plasma, styling. Designers are welcome as well...   If you do...... Just made this https://t.me/OxygenSquared for chatty chatty things.
