[Kalzium] [Icons] Update on the current situation

[Carsten Niehaus]

I fixed some bugs yesterday and finally all icons are in place. I want to give 
you a small update about the current icon-situation:

a) The Qt-issue: The rendering of certain SVG-feature will *NOT* be fixed in 
Qt 4.3 but perhaps in 4.4. This means that the Hg-icon (80.svg) needs to be 
fixed until TrollTech implement are better SVG-parser. 

b) I think 4.svg has issues with the metal things? Not sure if that effect is 
intendet but it looks like a gradient Qt 4.3 is misrendering (I am talking 
about the round metal things that make the sound... I don't even know the 
german word... :)

c) the icon for Zn (30.svg) is "to golden"... it is very hard to recoqnize on 
my LCD panel. Also, the letters "Zn" do not render here

d) 18.svg (Ar), 34.svg (Se), 35.svg (br), 49.svg (In) and 55.svg (Cs) have no 
letters.

e) 48.svg (In) and 55.svg (Cs) look not very professional

f) 112-116 have no icons (all radioactive, should be easy)

g) Many icons are missing :)



Ok, that is already a quite long todo-list. We (well, I cannot help here) have 
about 3 month to fix these issues and draw the missing icons. In order to 
gave you a list of the most important missing icons:

Go to View->Tables and select the Short Periodic Table. You will see the table 
like in the attached screenshot. Those missing icons (Ne, Kr, Rb, Sr, I) are 
the most important in my opinion.
After those I think Ni, Cu, Pd, Pt are the most imporant.

This mail is not meant to sound negative, the oposite is true. I really *love* 
many of the icons!! You are doing a great job!

Carsten
