I was thinking of making the triquetra-type image (overlapping balls
whatever) in place of the T in the gear (originally a K from KDE). As
that is one location that needs to be obviously be rebranded if we are
to trully become our own entity away from kde. Other imagery would of
course need to go as well and I will work on creating a list of other
apps and stuff that I think might be good to change their art for.
Suck as Chalk, and in sme cases it might be good to know what the
image for for the DE is before creating an entire set of icons and art
that would go with it. I do need to however, either find a list of
art that needs to go or to create one. Otherwise, it would almost be
like chasing a bouncing ball in the dark.

Just did a search through the contents of tde-tdeartwork and found a
few more images that I thought might be worth changing. These are
(without the file type):
about_kde
go_old
go
kfs_kde (might want a totally new mascot character /thing) I can make
a mascot/character if so desired)
kmenu
krec
krita_kra
krita
However, I do realize that by changing a subset of icons and imagery I
would have to force myself to stay within their style and feel. Where
as a completely new set (yes more work) could be desired more. I also
realize that only some of the art that might be desired to be replaced
is within tde-tdeartwork.

I did not
mean to imply porting from qt3 to qt4 precisely, I meant to
the tqt framework. At least what I read made it sound like once the
porting to the tqt framework was completely done that it there would
no longer be a need for qt3 as a dependency. Was I wrong?
Everything in GIT now runs on the tqtinterface layer. Other than new ABI/API
changes, there is no more related work to be performed. Historically, we
went through a rough time with the overall conversion between 3.5.12 ->
3.5.13.1. Most if not all of those bugs were found and most of the patches
have been back ported to 3.5.13.1 too.
We still maintain Qt3, mostly as a base and reference, but the preferred
method of building packages is against TQt3. There will always be a
dependency on one or the other, but as development continues, that
dependency shifts more and more to TQt3. At least one package builds only
against TQt3 and no longer builds against Qt3: tdebindings. There might be
other packages, but I would not know because I have been building against
TQt3 since the GIT migration almost a year ago.
An idea for art:
1. A triquetra-type image of either penguins or overlapping circles
or something (ideas welcome)
2. We could replace the shutdown, standby, and power buttons with
images of a penguin's ace with eyes open, half-closed and sleeping.
I could do these in 3D or in 2D.
The penguin is symbolically linked to the Linux kernel and the gnu is
symbolically related to the gcc infrastructure. I think Trinity should have
its own symbolic imagery. :)
A triquetra type image sounds interesting, but where do you envision these
images to be used? Are you thinking project logos at this point or other art
work for packages?
I apologize for the top-posting of my last message (please forgive me)
and hopefully it is fixed here. It was not intentional, just tired.
However I also had another idea for some art, I cold also do a 3Dish
image where 3 balls overlap with their overlapping colors changing due
to the overlap.
Personally I don't care whether people top post or bottom post. I see both
styles in my emails outside this list and I use whatever the other person
uses. I have enough intelligence and patience to read either. So does
everybody else here, but old customs die hard. :)
