Oxygen for YaST2 II

Two weeks ago I announced that I had selected a bunch of Oxygen icons to replace the Tango icons used in YaST2 by default on openSUSE 10.3, and thus make YaST2 look better and integrate better with KDE4.x.

I must have struck a nerve, because a lot of things started happening fast.

Someone took similar steps to have Oxygen artwork in SaX2 (SuSE advanced X11 configuration).

Marco [daemon] Michna decided to write a themeselector module for YaST2 during Novell Hackweek II, which was last week.

Martin Lasarsch packaged version 0.1 of yast2-theme-oxygen, to work nicely with the themeselector.

Gpant started working on his own theme and in the process creating some great icons, which also fit nicely in my theme.

Today I announce version 0.2 of yast2-theme-oxygen. It’s now more polished, it’s available as an easy and clean to install RPM, using 1-click install, you can now easily switch between the Tango theme and Oxygen using the themeselector module. It’s more enjoyable all around.

Thanks a lot to all involved.

Oxygen for YaST2

openSUSE 10.3 uses Tango icons by default in the YaST2 setup tool. A poorly maintained Crystal theme is also available. Neither solution is really acceptable for me, especially not since migration to KDE4.x.x is slowly starting. So I’ve done something that I’ve been contemplating for a while – that is making a selection of Oxygen icons as a replacement for the Tango icons. It’s called yast2-theme-openSUSE-oxygen.

It’s still pretty rough, in true KDE 4.0 fashion I released it real early. If it turns out that other people are interested, I’ll probably polish it, and enhance it as more Oxygen icons become available, and perhaps also package it as an RPM.

Big thumbs up to the Oxygen artists, I’ve spent some hours staring at their icons in the last couple of days and I’m still very impressed.

UPDATE: As expected it turns out that I hadn’t considered quite a few things in the initial release. Here’s an Oxygen-theme for SaX2 that someone made to fill at least one of the gaps.
