“Every one sees them all the time and would probably miss them
if they didn’t exist. What are they? Icons! Torsten Rahn and
Everaldo Coelho, the predominant icon duo in the KDE artist world,
and creators of virtually all of the icons you see in KDE, spent
some time with Open for Business’ Timothy Butler discussing how the
new Crystal icon theme came about, how it ended up replacing Mr.
Rahn’s HiColor theme, and the overall importance of icons to the
enterprise desktop.“This interview begins our multipart series in which we will
talk with the best and brightest artists in the entire Free
Software world. As art is such an important part of any graphical
desktop, it only makes sense to learn more about those who make our
desktops look as great as they do. We hope you enjoy this
interesting glimpse into the world of the dedicated Free Software
community members that don’t necessarily turn out code, but instead
turn out the stuff that makes all of that code usable and pleasant
to work with…”
