Crystal Clear
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Dear KDE Folks,
I have the pleasure to announce the new phase of Crystal Icon Theme that from now on will be called Crystal Clear. There are a lot of changes! Hundreds of new icons, support to the most known KDE games, and a lot of new things. The design style also was improved and updated to be more competitive with the market operational systems as well as the upcoming systems. I hope you like it!
As always I would like to thank some important people:
1- All the KDE users that always have supported my work and make my working nights really worth.
2- Linspire for the financial support of this project (you may not believe, but I have to eat so I keep living).
3- Nullmid, RELIO owner that kindly host online my projects.
4- God, for have gave me life and make all things possible.

The icons are LGPL. Here is everaldo's statement on the matter: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-artists&m=111947174930644&w=2
However, the KDE artists group apparently made a decision in the past that they only want to use icons in vector format. To an artist, the vector format is the "source code" that allows them to modify the icon, and they don't want to use icons in KDE unless they can redistribute these vector files for people to modify in the future.
If you read through the entire thread, you'll see that there was a lot of controversy over that decision even within the KDE artist community. Some people felt that PNG files were an acceptable choice. Others felt that PNG wasn't the "preferred format" for editing an icon, which conflicted with the LGPL requirements. Ultimately, they decided to stick with vector format icons.
I'm a non-artist, looking for icons to make my open source program look nicer. I wouldn't know how to work with vectors anyway, so for me, PNG is the preferred format for editing the icons. That being true, there should be no legal reason why the PNG files can't be modified and redistributed via LGPL. The KDE artists have a different "preferred format" for editing the file, but that't their preference, not mine.
So the bottom line is that everaldo is giving these icons away as LGPL. People are free to modify and redistribute them in PNG format under the LGPL license.
Thank you, everaldo, for all the work you've done. As an open source developer, I've also gotten critisized a few times by third parties who want me to use a different license. But don't let that get to you. The work you've done is not only beneficial to KDE, but is also a huge factor in helping encourage the broader adoption of Linux and open source technologies. We couldn't get there without you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

One point, though: could it be there is no icon for Quanta anymore? I tried to apply a new icon via the "Preferences" dialog, but I couldn't see a logo for Quanta.
Also, a "find . -iname *quanta*" had no success. :-( Is there a chance there will be a Quanta icon in Crystal Clear?

"bash: ./configure: No such file or directory"
sure enough, there is not "configure" file within the directory. there is a "configure.files" file, and if try to run "./configure.files" i get a permission denied error. is this KDE style available for all distros? or can it only be used for certain ones? is there another way i am supposed to install this? in the install directions it says to run "./configure" from the directory, but as you have seen, that won't work becuase the "configure" file doesn't actuall exist. any help? thanks.

Any way to force it? I am using SuSE 10.0 which does not have automake-1.6.

1. Open the "cvs.sh" inside the "admin"-directory.
2. Go to the line which begins with "automake*1.6.*" (should be between the lines 60 and 70) and then replace the *whole* line with this:
automake*1.6.* | automake*1.9.4* ) : ;;
And that's it, so:
3. Enjoy Crystal Clear! ;) :D
4. NOTE: Maybe "1.9.4*" needs to be edited by yourself because your automake-version is 1.9.5 or something similar.. ;)
