Hi,
thankx for your nice icons. I also want to design some icons but I don't know how.
Is there an howto for designing crystal like icons ?

Micha
well to make the circular crystal icon(s), i used the gimp xcf example provided here: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=1566
The others were done just by look and feel. I used my judgement on what would fit with the theme as a whole. Hope this helps. Good luck on with your endeavors!
My Klipper icon on the bottom left of the screen will not update to yours. Here is waht I did:
I downloaded your theme
I moved each of the things you provided into the appropriate folders
I made a tar.gz with all the icons
I re-installed Crystal from teh Control Center.
Please tell me what I did wrong or what you did. Also it would be really great if somebody could makea crystal version of the battery icon on my laptop and the plugged in icon too. Thanks in advance and great icons.
i have yet to get the icon in the kicker system tray to change to the new one i made. I intended to replace the old one (obviously) but am curious as to why it doesn't use the crystal version of the icon provided.
For now it will only replace the K menu icon. When i figure this out i will let you know.
Perhaps someone here knows how to get the icon to change?
Ah... i found the problem. Go to your $KDEDIR/share/apps/klipper/pics/ and replace the icon there (should be named klipper_dock.png) That should do it. Make sure that the new icon is named the same (klipper_dock.png).
As for the battery icon, i am not that good at anything art related but i'll see what i can do.

The thing I don't like about Crystal are these silly pink hard-disk icons...

thanks people... glad i could kontribute! :)
Nice Xmms icon.
Not bad at all! Exspecially the folder icon! Really good! Thanks a lot!
Just quick question. How do you install the Quick Browser icon? Using Mandrake 8.2 here. Ciryon
I have quick browser (kdisknav) on my kicker panel, so all i did was right click on it and change the icon.
