= How to create the pixel icons.

Sources: oxygen-icons_4.13.0.orig.tar.xz
	 http://download.kde.org/stable/4.14.1/src/oxygen-icons-4.14.1.tar.xz
Tools: Debian Package: inkscape Version: 0.48.3.1-1.3
       Debian Package: imagemagick Version: 8:6.7.7.10-5+deb7u3

== update-list.png

Was taken from the Oxygen Icon set (where rendering is done by inkscape).
prerendered in green.

The color was adapted on the pixel version with gimp
by visial matching shades of blue in the other icons.

Gimp tools used:
Menu -> Color -> colorize.. :
  with parameters approx 210, 65, 15
Menu -> Color -> Curves:
  Adding more billiance by dragging the ligher blue color shades more apart.
  So from the default curve make it go a little bit steeper for 4/5 
  of the way and then less steep.

Rendered with inkscape to 48pixel height.

== store-base
store-base created from svn-commit.svgz, removing the arrow
and the two internal circles.

== cert-is-imported-good.svg
Starting with svn-update.svg, removing the arrow and the two small circles.
Importing dialog-ok-apply.svgz, scaling it down and placing it in the middle.

Trick: When exporting to bitmap: To reach the same size,
even when the drawing is not completely fillled:
look at the size of the comparable drawing.

== cert-not-installed-bad.svg
Starting with store-base.svg, importing im-ban-user.svgz.
Removing the figure from im-ban-user and place the disallowed sign.

Can maybe improved by using the small/22x22/mail-mark-junk.svgz version
or small/16x16/dialog-cancel.svgz of the disallowed sign.

== cert-is-installed-bad
store-base.svg ->
imported status/small/22x22/task-attention.svgz, scaled and placed.
Removed the upper glare from the sign.

== cert-not-installed-good
cert-is-installed-bad.svg ->
Inkscape: tools -> rgb "tonne"
Remove the upper glare from the sign.

== pending-changes-overview, do-changes
started from apps/preferences-web-browser-cache.svgz
pending-... renamed from 48x48/apps/preferences-web-browser-cache.png
do-changes : scaled up a bit.


== cert-to-be-*
Start with the store-base.
Cut out the arrow from scalable/places/mail-folder-outbox.svgz,
remove everything, except the last shadow where the arrow starts.
Rotate as necessary. Color as necessary.
