[Kalzium] Icon status
Carsten asks me to blog for him as PlanetKDE lost his blog:

Moin

Many new icons got in as well as some new features. Here you can see the new Short Table which is used a lot in (german) schools. As you can see some icons are missing and some need to be tweaked. But in general it already looks quite nice. All icons are rendered directly from SVG by the way!

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

Let me add that a new artist recently joined us and started contributing icons to Kalzium: Noémie Scherer. On the above picture, at least the icons for B, C, P, I are by her. She also draw icons for other elements that don't appear on this Short Table.

Update: Screenshot updated. Due to bad CMakelists some icons were not displayed. Also the image was scaled which was bad.

The icons are a really great idea but sometimes can confuse the users, lets me explain, for the Ge simbol has a microscope as a image, but which part of it is made with Ge? so could be nice to add some explanations when the cursor is over the icon or sort it in the info window

Some ideas

Neon (Ne) is used in lamps. Pay attention to the fact that neon lamps are orange-red, and not white. It's a common mistake. If you want an idea, give a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_lamp

Strontium (Sr) is used for various medicines used for bones issues. For example its salts are used to cure osteoporosis.

Rubidium is used in lasers.

Krypton (Kr) is used in white lamps, but also for flashes in high speed photography.
