New icon
The original Lancelot icon is usually considered weird-looking when seen on a panel (or desktop). Even I have had Lancelot set up not to use it.
I like the old icon very much, and I’m still proud I succeed in making something like that with a vector-graphics program (Inkscape) so it still is, and will be until the end of time, the main icon of the Lancelot project. But from now on, it will not be used for the applet button.
Now, the default icon is the standard KDE icon – the same one other launchers use.
For those of you who want to have a normal-looking icon but still want others to see that you are using Lancelot and not something else, you can use the following one:
The new icon can be set through the applet configuration dialogue.

Very pretty – and now it feels much more a part of KDE than the previous icon.

Good idea, Ivan. I install Lancelot on all KDE 4 systems, and I change the icon to the KDE icon as well.

@Z: Well, most of the things I did for 4.4 were invisible, that is, under the hood. Now that the library tumbling is finished, I can return to make visible changes again

Hmm.. I must say that I liked very much about the Lancelot red icon. The blue “liquid” in the cup does not feel “right”
Yes, it fit well with Plasma-Desktop but I liked the original cup myself. Nice job still.

@Fri13: Well, the old icon is still going to be present on your system (as I said, it is Lancelot icon and will be forever) so you can still use it.

Cool. Maybe you can also add black/red/green/white versions of the new icon?

we can call it “lancelot 2″ now

@anonym:
well, the thing that I call Lancelot 2 in my mind is not yet here but we are getting closer to it.

Is this change in trunk or 4.4. NAd if it is in trunk, can it be installed on 4.4
Comment by beojan — 15 February 2010 @ 12:02
@beojan: I think it is trunk – just download the icon from websvn.kde.org
