Description:

t was april 2002 when I first started designing a little 48x48 icon and published it at kde-look.org.
It was an alternative “trashcan" for KDE 2. Since then I’ve continued designing icons and started many themes to increase my skills and improve design quality, these were: "Desktop icons", "Sky", "Lush" and finally "Nuvola".

It tooks me more than a year to reach version 1, the more professional, consistent and complete Nuvola theme ever released, it will turn your KDE in an eyecandy colourful desktop.

If you never tryed Nuvola what are you waiting? give it a try! For the others waiting this release since a long time… download Nuvola 1.0 now!

Have fun and enjoy your desktop!

nuvola 1.0 fixes kopete and kmail dock, kmix dock will be the same and are changed all the most important docked icons, like korganizer and klipper, and they all fit well together.

Hi!
Very nice work!
Only thing i'm missing is an icon for wifi devices... Would be great, if you can make one :-) Keep up the great work!

Your icon set is awesome, but I recommend going back to your original house icon. The green flat one just isn't doing it for me. Thanks buddy. Keep up the good work!

I hate it when people ask this question, but... what font (and font size) are you using in that screenshot? I looks good.

Thanks for the awesome icons!! Great work!

dave

it's gentoo "Sans Serif" and I suspect it is the Bitstream Vera Sans font.

This is what Linux needs. Superbly done. Complete in almost everyway and methodically clean and crisp.

A truely outstanding job Dave. Thank you.

First of all, let me say that your icons are the greatest. I like them very much.

But I've been getting errors in my .xsession-errors file. The error is:

kdecore (KIconLoader): WARNING: Icon directory /home/eric/.kde/share/icons/nuvola/ group not valid.

Do you know what could be the cause of this?

dave

No I don't know. It is a well know bug and I think it happens with user installed icon themes.

Ok,so i installed Nuvola as root and set all permissions as needed.Now i get
"kdecore (KIconLoader): WARNING: Icon directory /usr/share/icons/nuvola/ group not valid" in my xsession-errors.And load of icons are missing,i mean there are icons that must replace a default crystal but they don't... Very sad,man,i love Nuvola so much.

dave

this is a known bug and still unsolved.
I think appens to all icon themes installed by user.

I've noticed that the KSystemTray stretches the icons from their actual 16x16 icon size to 24x24 causing them to appear poor quality..especially noticable is the Klipper and Kopete icons...they look fuzzy.

I looked up the KSystemTray API and it looks like it's trying to display them at 24x24 (http://developer.kde.org/documentation/library/3.3-api/kdeui/html/classKSystemTray.html)

Maybe you could release a 24x24 size as well?

Or maybe you know what's actually going on.

love the icons

leif81

I looked into the KSystemTray API a bit more...it seems the icon being loaded into the tray is indicated at application level. Thus being the reason why some systemtray icons appear to be crisp and others not i.e. Klipper, Kopete

From what I can tell this is more of a KDE bug then Nuvola problem ;)

From your website I downloaded the gnome package but it doesn't appear to be the most recent one? I love them in KDE but I use gnome off and on as well....

dave
15 years ago

well, the gnome-themes-extra is a little outdated, I'll update it when I find the time. I was thinking if it was possible to do a png version for gnome using the latest icons of rc1

Visceral

That would be great, I hate not using these Icons when in gnome, but want the latest version :(

I use your icons on all my computers :) That is the best iconset ever! Looks great - even set to very small - so every day work becomes more pleasure. Thanks to YOU!

I tried to install nuvola, you know, by clicking on the little
sign and everything, but it says
"The file is not a valid icon theme archive!"

I have konq's icons at 22x22, and the back and forward icons have become much smaller with this release, possibly 16x16? Is there a reason/fix for this?

Great icons by the way!
