Ad Reinhardt, 1913-1967
Reinhardt was an American minimalist painter, who became known for his extreme style, which also became more and more reductive from the mid 1950s, towards his death in 1967. After 1955 he worked almost exclusively in near-black. This said, there is in fact colour in the paintings, for example his "Abstract Painting no. 5", 1962, which can be found at the Tate Modern (http://www.tate.org.uk
), is, though seemingly black-blue, in fact squared with blue and red.
From the Reinhardt Style README
This is The Reinhardt Icon Set for KDE. The original concept for this icon set is by Branded_Bunni, who really wanted an Aqua style set of icons, but who decided that they did not render correctly and so we decided to go the exact opposite way and go ultra minimalist. The icon set currently consists of 1269 icons, and is still growing. The icon set is a proposal for the default icon set for the Kicker (the KDE 'task bar') replacement system Slicker, which is under development, and is designed to go well with the Reinhardt Widget Style for KDE.
Installation
The easiest way to install these icons are doing it on a per-user basis, which is done using the KDE Control Center. Simply download the file, the go to the KDE Control Center Icons section and click on "Install...". Then simply select the downloaded file and click OK, wait until it is done processing, select Reinhardt from the icon set list and click Apply. Hey presto! Reinhardted Desktop!
If you wish to install it system-wide, you must find out where the icons are kept first. This will normally be in %KDEPREFIX%/share/icons/ where you simply unpack the downloaded file (you must be root to write to this directory), and then go to the KDE Control Center Icons section and select Reinhardt Icons and click OK. That should do it. To find %KDEPREFIX%, type kde-config --prefix on the command line and it will return where KDE is installed, i.e. KDE's prefix.
