Description:

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.

After some more web research, I think I know the answer to this question.

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.

I think it's weird that the windeco hasn't gotten it's own entry here at kde-look.org! Also, I had a hard time finding and downloading the windeco, and when I did, it didn't look ANYTHING like the screenshot :/

Help!

In order to install it you must compile it. You do this with the following commands (after unpacking it somewhere and cd'ing there):
---------------------
make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure
make
make install
---------------------
Note: the 'make install' step requires root privileges.

I love the crystal clear theme, but one thing that annoys me is that the icons don't look right on a small sized kicker. The theme automatically uses the 16x16 icons instead of the 22x22 which would look much better (especially since the system tray uses larger icons still). Is this a bug in the theme, or is there a way to force it to use the larger icons when using a small kicker?

Hi, I had the same annoyance, but a simple solution was to go to Control Center-->Desktop-->Panels, and then increase the size of your panel to 38 Pixels (you must first choose "Custom" in the drop down menu for size)

The icon "folder_locked" in 16x16 size is missing. Could you please add it? It's getting disturbing in konqueror.

Thank you for this great icon set :D

See ./configure --help and add option with Xlibs and headers path (like this: --x11libsdir=PATH(its only example :-))

A very nice theme you've built there.

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?

hi, i try to run "./configure" to install the crystal clear KDE style but i get the message
"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.

Try this

cd to source-dir
make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure (if it fails try with prefix, e.g.: ./configure --prefix='/usr/kde/3.5')
make
make install (as root)

I get an error that my automake is too recent:

This Makefile is only for the CVS repository
This will be deleted before making the distribution

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

OK guys, this is what you need to do:

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.. ;)

to install the Clear Style Decoration from source, the correct procedure is:

cd to source-dir
make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure (if an error occur, inform the kde headers location, gived by kde-config --prefix, in my case: ./configure --prefix='/usr/kde/3.4')
make
make install (as root)

it works for me.. running gentoo 2005.1

Your icons look marvelous. So I wanted to install the appropriate "Window Manager Theme". But I can't find a configure-file. How must I install the theme?

Thank you
