Well, I can see what files are used, but not how the reflections and
fade-in animation frames are generated from the source icon (the
fade-in in the default theme seems to have some blurring applied).
It's possible to rig something up but I've asked at the kde-artists
list if there's any standard recipe:

(archive might only be available to list members, will report back if
I get an answer)
