Get more Oxygen artwork

[diederik]

We'd love to have more Oxygen-style artwork for KMess 2.0. To have a fresh and coherent look.

Things to improve:

• The application icon (in progress)
• The login dialog logo.
• The contact list watermark.
• Contact status icons
• A KMess-oxygen emoticon set.

The current files can be found at: http://trac.kmess.org/browser/trunk/kmess/data

Regarding the status icons:

The standard Oxygen set provides status icons, except for the away states "out to lunch" and "on the phone". However, we'd love to have our previous icons back in Oxygen style because they give the sense of talking to "persons". By adding a -kmess suffix to all icon names we can have our own icons, other iconsets would automatically fall back to the default icons.

So I'd like to propose the following icon names:

• user-online-kmess : Online, green person
• user-away-kmess : Idle or be right back, yellow person (kmess 1.5 has a clock overlay for be right back, exactly the reverse as oxygen's user-away-extended).
• user-away-extended-kmess : Away, yellow person (could be the same icon).
• user-away-phone-kmess : On the phone, yellow person with phone.
• user-away-lunch-kmess : Out to lunch, yellow person with fork/knife.
• user-invisible-kmess : Purple person (since we can't see invisible people as invisible, this is an ideal candicate for invited contacts because we don't know their real online status).
• user-busy-kmess : Busy, yellow person (problem: block sign can also be used for blocked contacts...)
• user-offline-kmess : Red person.

One other option would be having completely different icon sets. Some other msn clients also offer themes for different contact status icons.

For contacts which are invited to a chat, but not on your list we can't determine the status icon. currently we display an "online" icon, but perhaps some unknown (purple color) icon would be really nice.
