About time…

Another missing Oxygen icon, this time KTimer.

The idea was simple enough… its a timer, lets make a digital watch. And having grown up in the 80's my brain obviously went directly to those old Casio watches we all had, wanted, lost, or somehow managed to keep alive for 20 years

So I started with a very basic shape, mostly trying to get the proportions right, and from there it slowly became more and more of a actual object. The side buttons appeared, the LCD got some depth, the case became more angular, and I spent a frankly unreasonable amount of time trying to make the brushed steel look like brushed steel.

Then came the fun part… all the little useless details.

The light and alarm symbols, the not days of the week but rather running timers , the branding and of course the very prestigious "kool desktop environment 2026" written across the top. Absolutely essential information at 64 pixels

The last bit was adding the gear/play element so it reads as KTimer and not simply as the KASIO watch I apparently wanted when I was 12.

And thats pretty much how these things happen… start with a rectangle, add a few details, remove some, add way too many again, move things around for far too long and eventually decide its an icon.

A k Time well spent… probably.

Progress on the icon side is coming along nicely.
BTW me and Filip are gona do a presentations together in aKdemy about Oxygen, if you are planing on attending (you should), you know were to find us
