✵✵✵✵✵✵✵✵✵✵✵✵ I wish you a Happy New Year 2013 ✵✵✵✵✵✵✵✵✵✵✵✵Last changelog:
0.1: Initial release. Various bug fixed. Decrease flowers opacity. Add more icon. Add more icon. Add more icon. Various bug fixed. Various bug fixed. Various bug fixed.
0.2: Add two new size for places (256x256,512x512). Various bug fixed. Add more icon. Various bug fixed.
0.3: Fix flowers opacity. Synchronized with Oxygen. Various bug fixed. Add more icon for applications.
0.4: Rescale icons using Gwenview with Lcanczos filter. Synchronized with Oxygen. Add more icon for mimetypes. Remove unwanted icons. Various bug fixed.
0.5: Remove flowers overlay. Make gradient of the bottom of directory icons darker. Add more icon for applications (change the Pidgin icon to the original one). Various bug fixed.
Some icons are too blurred, unlike their Oxygen counterparts which are very sharp. Among the most noticeable are icons like list-add and list-remove. If you could sharpen up all of them or use the latest Oxygen ones, it would complete the professional look and feel of this otherwise excellent theme.
In most distributions, Oxygen doesn't contain the multiple sizes. So if applications like KTorrent need a 22x22 pixel icon (eg.for toolbar) and it doesn't exist it'll use the upper available icon, then KTorrent will resize them itself that it makes icons jagged. Also there's a bug that all of theme sizes (eg.16x16, 22x22) don't contain the all icons, so try the new version and if you still think the icons are blurred, resize them from 128x128 to lower sizes with your favorite software/filter.
Icons of the same size as counterparts in Oxygen were blurred in Blue Sora. I copied some of the commonly used ones from Oxygen. I will try the new version now as well, thanks.
What's really great about this theme is not the "blue icons", but the additions to Oxygen. The Kontact icons are fixed, the new Kate icon is great... Congratulations.
Hi
I'm on openSUSE 12.1
after download, in icons settings, if i select the blue sora package for install him, i don't see the Blue Sora icon theme in the list of my actually icon theme.
it don't install
exist another way for install it?
thank you
Blue Sora pack...
i've resolved the problem in this way:
manually i've moved the folder in home/giolf/.kde4/share/icons/
but if i choose icon "user-home" the icon don't change...
Icon are beautiful. Thank you very much for making them.
Probably what I want to ask you is too much (too big wish) but I'll ask you anyway :) Can you make icon theme which will change only folder icons? And folder icons to be without flowers and "blue sora" branding?

Thank you for your opinion.
Fantastic! Really fantastic, it would be nice to have them by default in the New Kubuntu, very good job folk! :)
I'm glad that you're enjoyed.
