Nov.29 development snaphot of BlueSphere SVG icons (0.3.0)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is development snapshot of BlusSphere SVG icons.
Basically, it's .tar.bz2 of all SVG files in BlueSphere folder on my hard disk drive.
Many icons have 2, 3 or even 5 versions (like: xxx-2.1.svg, xxx-2.2.svg, etc.)
You should use latest version, unless it's especially mentioned.... read more

Nov.19, 2002
* added new KMail icon, in classic "Orange E" style and with few modifications.
* Envelope icon - envelope is extracted from KMail icon; may be, some people would find it useful for thier favorite Mail User Agent
* new Desktop icon - somewhat funky but quite interesting.
Recommended size 48x48 or 64x64.
* Gear, Exec icon - in somewhat KDE's traditional style, but reworked and more colorful
* Documents and flat variant of Folder icons
* reworked Home (gohome.png) - so it's more colorful now

Nov.15, 2002
* bugfix release of BlueSphere SVG Icon theme
* Recommended Toolbar icons size is 32x32 or 48x48 (yes, 48x48 size for Actions is avilable in BlueSphere icon theme)
* 22x22 icons are usable, but sometimes need extra work.
* 0.3.x releases would be targeted at these issues.

I awould appreciate help/comments on enhancing
BlueSphere icon theme.
In particular, I'd like to hear what needs to be chnaged for upcoming GNOME 2.2/GTK 2.2 release.
As there is a new common Icon Theme format for GNOME and KDE, I'd like to create one, reusable icon theme, which would be shared between those two desktops.
