Really dumb question: how do I use this icons?
In Appearance & Themes > Icons, I click Install New Theme but is looks for an index.theme file, which isn't available in the tarball. So how do I use this icons?
Using kde 3.2 beta 2 btw.
thnx
these icons are for the Quanta+ app only so i didn't think someone will try to install them as a "full KDE icons theme".
if you want use them with Quanta, just copy 16x16, 22x22, 32x32, etc. folders over the same folders in /usr/share/icons/crystalsvg as root or in your favourite ~/.kde/share/icons/ as an user.
maybe i will do something for better install next time ;)
Don't worry. It's just you're trying to apply a single icon as a whole theme. It's only for assigning it for shortcuts, you can set it in the properties dialog.
I went ahead and created the icons from the gimp file at 48, 32, 22 and 16 pixel sizes. On my system the smaller ones aren't so clear. Maybe they're okay for others? The two smaller icons could be redone with less of the features in them and I might do that but I'm leaving it to the artist.
Now I'm inclined to keep the splash that goes with it. One request... can you look at our new project graphics and re-do them? Any other graphic touch would be cool and I still need more icons but I do like this so far.
I didn't realize that was your nickname ;) I like it, but I never guessed it was you.
Anyway, I like the icon, but probably there will soon bea SVG one and yeah the real small sizes aren't very clear.
My handle sequitur goes back a long ways. I was looking for something cool that wasn't taken with an ISP. Since non sequitur is used to mean "not relevent" I thought sequitur was cool because it made me automatically "relevent". ;-) Anyway, it ended up getting used pretty much everywhere because it's almost always available.
hello eric,
thank you. i'm glad you like it. i'll look at these smaller icons. they need some adjustments when resized down. then i'll update this upload.
speaking about the other icons and wizard images i'm not sure when i'll get some time to play with it so i'm not promising anything... :)

Don't know why it's voted at 57. It's a huge step in the right direction IMO.
Yes, very very nice and long overdue. I'll be adding this to my desktop when I get home from work. Thanks!
Geez, it's about time somebody did a nice icon for us! This is great! I'm going to use it!
