A futuristic vectorial theme for dark desktops
Have you ever dreamed about having your computer look like a sci-fi interface? I did.
I tried to develop a clean, monochrome and homogeneous theme with something futuristic to fit in KDE 4 desktops with dark color schemes.
I use this theme in everyday life (at work and at home) trying to extend it as much as possible.
Any help is appreciated.
The DarkFuture complete desktop pack is made of:
DarkFuture icon theme (this one)
DarkFuture color scheme (get it here: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/DarkFuture?content=132559)
DarkFuture desktop theme (give me a couple of weeks)
How to install from Bazaar
If you want to easily update this theme don't use the tar.gz, follow these steps:
1) install bazaar
2) go in your ~/.kde/share/icons folder
3) type:
bzr branch lp:darkfuture DarkFuture
To update it just run:
bzr pull
inside your ~/.kde/share/icons/DarkFuture folder.
Launchpad announcements will be used to advertise updates (together with this page, obviously)

2010/08/26 First release of the theme (0.1)
2010/09/06 Created a colorizer shell script and added some new icons (available only on launchpad trunk branch)
2011/03/15 Added Chrome, Skype and many other icons. Still working on common icons set
2011/03/28 Added Kalarm and Clementine icons, added some Kmail icons (signatures and encryption) and some mimetypes (trash, shellscript, illustrator)
2014-03-12 Added a lot of new icons. First attempt to replace KDE battery icons (it didn't work)
2014-03-13 Started DarkFuture desktop theme to support tray icons.

In esence is your theme but with some more icons. If you like to add these missing icons to yours just see the differences.txt file that is inside the tar.gz.
Cheers!
P.D.: Great icon theme!!!

You're launcher icon is nice, but I actually prefer a different one because I like it to stand out from the other icons. I thought this one juxtaposed nicely next to yours while still fitting with the same general idea: https://v-4-vengeance.deviantart.com/art/Kde-start-137413485.

Can you provide a screenshot of an icon theme with circular icons scaling better than DarkFuture?
Second question: can you confirm that this "pixelated effect" happens also with filled icons, such as kmail when new mail arrive? It could be that increasing border width could help.

I'm very busy this month, but it shouldn't be such a hard work. I'll post a comment here when they are ready.

While I figure out why this happens you can download the file from launchpad: just click on the big green button on the right column ;-)

I tried to make this myself, and found adding the glow quite easy. But as you said, KDE doesn't understand filters, so glow doesn't show.
Saving icons as images would solve the problem, but that's something I don't want to do, and I do believe that you don't either.
Thanks.

We will wait for ksvgtopng to support halos. This is a vectorial theme and I'd like to keep it as is if I can.

Using bazaar you'll be able to download the trunk branch (always in development) where you will find the colorizer script: just put 000000 in it and wait a couple of seconds to have a brand new theme with black icons.
