[Kalzium] kalzium icon proposal

[Benoît Jacob]

Hi Noémie,

first of all: are you subscribed to the list kalzium at kde.org ? If yes, we 
don't need anymore to add you in CC. Likewise, you don't need to add us in CC 
(but it's not a problem either if we're in CC).

I like it very much. I found an image that you might find useful:

this shows how real diamonds are cut. And this image shows the colors on such 
a diamond:

But your diamond is already very nice.

Something just occurred to me: your thermometer is a medical thermometer (as 
seen on its extremity). These mercury-based medical thermometers are 
disappearing for security reasons (mercury is a poison) and already today's 
children probably don't know them anymore. So perhaps we should adapt to 
that. Just replace this extremity by a sphere-shaped reservoid, and extend 
the white background (where the numbers are drawn) to support this reservoir.

Another remark is that inside the glass tube, the darker gray suggests mercury 
and the lighter gray suggests air, so I suggest that you swap these two 
grays.

Another remark is that the mercury-air limit should not be horizontal. Mercury 
is viscous, and the glass tube is narrow, so the mercury-emptiness should be 
perpendicular to the tube regardless of the direction.

Oh and another remark is that mercury freezes as -38°C so there's no need to 
go down to -60°C ;)

Cheers,
Benoit
