Description: The bulidset GPL script is the backbone of the graphitekde icon packages. It is a GPL'd script that reduced time needed for iconset creation, testing, distribution, and downloading. For example, the original graphite iconset was approximately 20 MB. By using this script, the size of download is reduced to approximately 6 MB and the time to create and port new iconsets is drastically reduced.
README Run the buildset script Select your custom kmenu icon (xeyes is good) Wait for the icons to convert Wait for the tar.gz or tar.bz2 to build Install using kcontrol
Why the script? 6.5 MB versus about 20 MB. And the script can be used by icon artists! Just create your 128x128 icons then use the script to create the additional icons!
Added Info ------------------------------- The SuSE icon added to the package (apps/suse.png) is under BSD license by tkdesign-studio.com provided on kde-look.org. Additional icons provided by other icon packages with written / or distribution consent. The GPL'd buildset script is included in the package, as well as the separate download.Last changelog:
Changelog: 3.1 Added gentoo kmenu / buildset support. Improved the toolbar icons. 3.00 Slight fixes between 2 and 3, mainly little icons like kmail inbox/outbox/sent_mail. buildset script now supports different sizes in a variable (SIZES). Added some SuSE type value-add stuff. Like icons for SuSEwatcher and SuSEplugger. I'm not a SuSE user, so I don't even know what they're for.
2.x Internal Templates for all sets Fixed the script to support BSD too I hope. Added more icons and synced sets up together.
1.01 Fixes The script implicitly support whatever distribution you're using. Before I inserted absolute paths for the utilities, but now I am using a better method. I also commented the buildset script as well as created an added index.moreSizes.desktop file for kcontrol. You can look at the buildset script and see spots where you can add more sizes, I used 56x56 as an example. Since SVGs are not going to happen, I can at least provide this. Just keep in mind whatever sizes you specify, the index.desktop file will have to reflect that.
1.00 Initial release Rade8 packages are now using build scripts to limit the amount of obnoxious bandwidth these packages use. Added icons including (not limited to) kmixdocked, kmix_muted, new konqueror icons, changed save icon, apps/icons...
it would be nice if you culd give more options for the kmenus/go/start or what ever its called menu, while xeyes is nice, its kinda downheartening to see nearly all of the ones u give as options are distro specific, it would be ncie if we could have more general ones like the picture of tux, or possably add some more distrobutions to the choice like slackware, debian, not so much the derivitives of these distros like mepis and DSL. Anyway great icon set could do with one for opera though and like i said just before offering a wider selection to choose from for the go/start menu thingy.
Grat idea about the buildset script as well, espeicaly useful for dial up users like me, saves a whole heap of time (2 thumbs up)
Great job
Michael
the full set for me please?
convert isnt included in my distro (yoper) and when i try to install it i get a bunch of dependency problems and its a big headache. is there any way i can download the installable set somewhere without having to convert them myself?
umm...can i get the image pack too...cos it's gona save me a wgole lot of trouble installing imagemagick...it has a lot of dependecies...and i'm not in the mood to play with it at this time...pls...
Hi!I like your screenshots very much and was wondering, what else do you use to get such a nice desktop.Especially I'd like to know where to get that metal-brush window-background and so on.Thank you!
The Sparkling icons are great (I love them!) but they are not completed and they don't seems to be maintained anymore.
Will it be possible to merge the "actions" icons from Sparkling with your icons? They perfectly fit together.
Would like to thank you for such a great contribution. Really appreciate the script. These icons are my favorite and the script is so awesome. Glad you represented BSD also.. Even though I use FreeBSD rather than OpenBSD..
Thanks again for the great work!!

I'm really surprised you don't have it. Convert is part of the ImageMagick package available at http://www.imagemagick.org - I would double check to make sure you don't have it before getting it from their site. If you have a RPM-based system, you can use the command line to perform:
rpm -qa | grep ImageMagick
to see if ImageMagick is installed. If you don't have an RPM-based system, you can always search for the convert binary using 'find'. From the console:
find / | grep convert | grep bin
which will look for any file named convert with 'bin' in its path. Hope this helps!

I can't drop a 20 MB package somewhere but if you want, I can put in on a private connection - send me an email and I'll hook you up.

This is the best way to generate Snowe-Rade8 icons. Plus you get to choose the kmenu icon too! I love it!
Thanks so much - I'm glad people enjoy the work I've done. -maitre
Whats the name of the Brushed Metal alike theme you are using?
The KDE theme you see is baghira, the gtk 2 theme I use is a modification of Industrial Beer Spillage. -maitre
Good looking stuff.
is that KDE?
Sure is - the most useable environment ever. :)
The third screenshot shows some recent icon additions for players like juk and amarok. -maitre
