KDE Icons in your project - Info for Developers

[Ralf Nolden]

Hi,

I want to share with whoever is working on a KDE project that with KDE
2.2 the locolor icon set will be removed and only the hicolor icon set
will be used. What does that mean to developers ?

Basically, when you add an icon to your project, there's a simple line
to add to your Makefile.am which is KDE_ICONS = AUTO. This will install
the icons into the right locations. For this to meet, you have to stick
to a naming convention:

<iconset><size>-<group>-<iconname>.png

The values for iconset are lo and hi. The lo becomes obsolete, so please
only use hi as the prefix for iconset. Valid values for size are 16, 22,
32, 48. Groups are things like actions, mimetypes etc, following the
directory hierarchy of the KDEDIR/icons subdirs.

Please rename your icons specified with lo16-actions-whatever.png to
hi16-actions-whatever.png as an example. If you have any questions, feel
free to come back and ask so we can help you out to make your
application be standard compliant with the upcoming KDE 2.2 (although
2.2 will be binary compatible with KDE 2.0)
