Oxygen Icons package

[Sonic]

I have a doubt about Oxygen icon theme package. Are the 
'oxygen-icon-theme' (15MB) and 'oxygen-icon-theme-scalable' (46MB) 
complementary to each other? Is it possible that one of these is 
sufficient for a complete system? I didn't have the 'scalable' package, 
and the 'new device notifier' didn't have any icon. I installed the 
scalable package and everything's fine. Now, can I remove the 
oxygen-icon-theme package so that I can save on bandwidth and time when 
updating my machine.

Technically, is it not sufficient to have the scalable icon set?


regards,

Syam

This sounds like a bug. The scalable
should be the same 
as the standard package, only it has SVGs instead of 
standard sizes of the icons.

FYI, upstream no longer installs the scalable icons in trunk (and we may
have Oxygen from trunk as soon as KDE 4.2.3, they're splitting it out of
kdebase-runtime so Oxygen can be updated more often), so the -scalable
package is going to go away soon.

It is not recommended to install only the scalable icons because the
non-scalable ones sometimes have tweaks for specific pixel sizes. The
scalable ones are really only the source code, they don't have much use on
their own.

Then why do I need this package for the 'new device notifier' icon?

You don't (or shouldn't).

In the meantime, you may want to try clearing your pixmap cache
rm -rf ~/.kde/cache-*/kpc

I removed the 'scalable' package and didn't clear the pixmap cache.
So 
far, no problems. Great!
