[opensuse-factory] Icon Set for YaST
Hi, reading the discussions on this mailing list about the switch of the YaST2 icon theme and gathering some more information that I was not aware at when I made the decision, I'm suggesting the following plan: * Go back for 10.2 to the crystal icon set for YaST (the crystal icons were used in 10.1 and earlier) * For openSUSE 10.3: - figure out which icons are needed - take care that we have a complete set of tango icons for yast2 (there are still some missing which I didn't know before making the decision) - use consistent names for icons so that we can easily switch between themes. - find volunteers to take care of new crystal icons for yast2 - consolidate all YaST icons in one central place (currently *most* are in the theme package but not all) so that we can switch between icon sets - discuss and decide which icon set to use for YaST for the following situations: * during installation * with GNOME as default desktop * with KDE as default desktop - discuss and decide whether to change the icon set for KDE (and to which icon set) Would this plan be ok?

Hi,
reading the discussions on this mailing list about the switch of the YaST2 icon theme and gathering some more information that I was not aware at when I made the decision, I'm suggesting the following plan:
* Go back for 10.2 to the crystal icon set for YaST (the crystal icons were used in 10.1 and earlier)
* For openSUSE 10.3:
- figure out which icons are needed
- take care that we have a complete set of tango icons for yast2 (there are still some missing which I didn't know before making the decision)
- use consistent names for icons so that we can easily switch between themes.
- find volunteers to take care of new crystal icons for yast2
- consolidate all YaST icons in one central place (currently *most* are in the theme package but not all) so that we can switch between icon sets
- discuss and decide which icon set to use for YaST for the following situations: * during installation * with GNOME as default desktop * with KDE as default desktop
- discuss and decide whether to change the icon set for KDE (and to which icon set)
Would this plan be ok? Thank you very much, Andreas. I think this is the way how there can really be a community accepted change. And it leaves room, to have _one_ icon set in

Without seeing the new icon set (I plan to switch to 10.2 once the first beta appears), but reading all the comments and the heat around them, I think this is a good plan. Andras -- Quanta Plus developer - http://quanta.kdewebdev.org K Desktop Environment - http://www.kde.org

I'm surprised by this one since Jakub covered everything for SLE, maybe there are just a couple of holes for new module?

It might be just a couple of holes - and I do not think it's his fault. But it's more than just this, we really need to get the whole icon status in YaST cleaned up and move then forward - and currently we do not have the time for 10.2 to do it properly, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

I posted the below comments on bugzilla, better post em here too: Sounds like a fully acceptable plan to me. A few points though. If 10.3 won't have KDE4, at least KDE4 will definitely be around for 10.3+1 (11.0). Which means we'll have Oxygen icons then. I hear rumours that the main Oxygen guy is on the Novell payroll (correct?). Maybe we should think even a step further ahead than 10.3. And I guess it's not even entirely impossible that KDE4 can be out in time for 10.3, if we continue the 8 month release cycle. KDE4 and Oxygen should definitely be taken under consideration with regards to those plans.

I'd be very happy with that, Andreas, and I'd be willing to help out if required. I like my KDE - I spend too many hours per day working in it to consider changing what is a good desktop (IMHO). If we can get to the stage where tasks are handed out, that would be lovely, I'll chip in and help however I can.

In general we want to collect these tasks at http://en.opensuse.org/Tasks But you are right, we all need to use this way more. Martin currently thinks about how to improve this and we will also ask all teams working here to use it at least to link somewhere where they maintain their open tasks. thanks adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
