Description: Elementary Mono notification icons for KDE.
21-11-2011 UPDATE!!! Finally got around to porting the mono dark icon set. It's nowhere near complete yet, but most of the "big" icons have been done; network, sound, device, printer, messaging, battery, etc.
UPDATE!!! Just added clementine icons and incorporated a bugfix Mcder submitted.
UPDATE!!! I've packed some new icons including a working devices.svg, ktorrent.svg and printer.svg. Right now the theme is a bit of a mashup between Dan Rabbit's work, my own icons and those ported by mcder, but hopefully after this semester ends I'll have some free time to work on cleaning everything up and getting around to porting the mono-dark icons as well.Last changelog:
Added mono dark icons
Added Clementine icons
added new ktorrent icon, printer icon, fixed device icon bug.
The semester is drawing to a close, the kids are on Thanksgiving break and I finally had some free time to devote to this project. The mono-dark icon set is a reality now! I posted the messaging, network, printer, audio, battery and USB icons. The hardest part of porting the icon set is actually getting the battery, audio and network icons done, so the rest should move pretty quickly. Let me know what you all think!
I just added some png icons for clementine. Contrary to what I thought, clementine does not support the svg icons in the plasma theme. It relys on the KDE icon theme.
I have ones for Pithos the GTK Pandora app, but to use them you have to replace all the stock Pithos icons.
I'm glad you like them. No offense to you but the ktorrent icon I kept confusing with the network icon. Then I had the idea to make the "K" with the down arrow. The printer applet icon is loosely based on the Faenza icon, but pretty drastically changed. My icon is wider and shorter, and the lines are all much thinner in order to look cohesive with the elementary theme. I think they both are nice additions to the theme.
might be waiting til after the end of the semester. I haven't had much time to work on this lately. Between the icons I ported from Dan Rabbit's Elementary theme and the ones that Mcder has ported, at least the dark monochrome icons are nearly a complete set. I simply haven't had much time to invest in the light monochrome set yet
I posted the updated theme a little bit ago. Hey mcder, how did you get the USB device icon to work? I've been trying to get it to work but so far it has been nothing but trouble.
Yeah I finally figured it out last night. I googled 'device.svgz' and eventually found some documentation on it. Works just fine now. Posting an update soon
Thanks! I have updates to this theme. If I get some free time ill try to post it today. The way I have it set up now it looks more complete. Once I finish everything ill try packaging as a deb
"I wish there were an easier way to change this theme. Should change with icon theme like on GNOME but oh well..."
There is. You just put it in .kde/share/apps/desktoptheme/<themename>/icons. The thing with systray icons is that they don't change with the icon theme, they change with the plasma theme. This is both good and bad: It's good that it follows the theme, so you don't have to change your icon theme just because you switched to a theme with a light background instead of a dark one for the panel (the dark theme would have its own icons that match the panel). It's bad because it's a bit more work if you find a nice icon theme that you'd like to use for all of your plasma themes.
So... yeah...
Anyway, I like the elementary icons, so I'm glad to see an effort to port this properly to kde. :)

Thanks so much for the clementine icons, very beautiful kde notification theme icons, congratulations!
Glad you like them. I noticed a strange quirk with PNG handling transparency slightly differently than svg
Yes, but this is very slightly.
I like ktorrent icons and icon of the printer Good Job :P

but you were very good, excellent fit to the package of icons :P
Waiting for updates! :-D

the only thing I miss is to put the ID "device-notifier"
