Icons
1. Guidelines for choosing and adding Kexi icons
- We're using CrystalSVG icon set (png icons)
- For all icons types please try to add at least 16x16 and 22x22 sizes, 32x32 size is welcome
- If you can, please provide SVG icon source (may be useful later)
- Sometimes you can't use generic icon from KDE global icon set (most frequently "actions" subset), if you're using an icon to express slightly different action than the original meaning. This won't work when user changes his icon set to different from CrystalSVG (e.g. Noia). Other icon sets can have really different looking icons. The solution is to copy these icons to kexi directories and rename to names better expressing our actual needs.
- Kexi icons (also these within plugins) are installed to Kexi's icons directory, i.e. : we have icondir = $(kde_datadir)/kexi/icons in Makefile.am (where icon_ICON = .... is the icons list)
- Before adding icons e.g. from your current KDE installation or KOffice/KDE CVS, download freshest icon set available, i.e. CrystalSVG
 (12MB) as these are often more updated than those in CVS.

5. Links
- To request icons to be made for us, send a mail to kde-artists@kde.org mailing list. Attach an overview of every icon required, for example - current icon and notes what needs to improve.
- Crystalsvg icons for oo.org (svg icons also available). Part of this collection will replace old KOffice icons - see status page. We will probably reuse selected icon from this project within Kexi too.
