Please, read this entire document ;)
Read the 'changelog' text file for release's information

Thanks

INSTALLATION AND USE
-As a KDE iconset: open the Icons app (K menu/Preferences/Look&Feel/Icons). Click over 'Install New Teme'. Browse to the tar file, or drag it over the dialog. Click the installed iconset, and apply the changes.
-As individual icons: untar the file download. Now all icons are available for individual use. Use you usual way to change individual icons, depending your desktop.

PORTS TO OTHER PLATFORMS
Read this if you wish to port this iconset to other platform. IMPORTANT NOTE: Read the 'NOIA ICONS & SKINS' to know wich platforms have these icon ported, or consult your usual customization site for any Noia iconset.
This iconset is under LGPL, any any person can port these icons freely.
Howto:
-For desktops with 8 bits alphamask: create your icon as usual. Microsoft WindowsXP will only show correctly this kind of icons under 32bits color modes.
-For desktops whitout 8 bits alphamask: create your icon as usual. Some icons have transparencies. Take caution with these icons, and retouch when the 1bit alpha conversion is wrong. Some of these icons are the 'console' and any 'folder' icons.
If you finally decide to release a port i will appreciate if you comunicate firstly with me.

HISTORY
These icons are initially released for Microsoft WindowsXP and received much praise from the start. Therefore, i created 3 more variations.
With these icons i obtained the 1st place in the Axialis Contest in July, 2002.
I like having alternatives, therefore a long time ago (and lots of times) to install Linux on my x86 computers, without success. However, recently, Using Suse 8.0 I was able to succesful install Linux on my computer! I like Linux, it is a very powerful operating system and KDE is a nice desktop wich is rapidly being improved.
Due to nature of Linux and thanks to the thousands of people who have contributed their work to it, surely my icon set will become old soon :p
Finally, on November 7 2002 i finished my first icon set for KDE: The Noia icons.
Differences between Windows & KDE Noia icons:
-All icons actualized (the shadows weren't OK before)
-Higher sizes ;)
-The icons looks good on 16 bits modes :)) (I know, this is a KDE advantage, WIndowsXP don't shows correctly the 8bits alphablended icons on 16bits screen modes)
-The devices icons are 50% new for this version
-The filesystem icons are 90% new for this version
-The mimetyps icons are 99% new for this version
-The actions icons are 99% new for this version
-The application icons are entirelly new for this version
-Most importantly: THIS VERSION COVERS ALL (or almost all) OF THE ENTIRE SYSTEM! I've haven't been able to do this on Windows or MAc OSX. This is really COOL!!

ICON DESCRIPTIONS
This iconset vas originally released without any license. Then, it was released under GPL, and finally, it's under LGPL (version 1.00 and above), because it's more permissive; read the 'lesser.txt' file, included in that package.
This is a icon set for KDE 3.0x and KDE 3.1x. I used 'the 'hilight' icons as a template, but initially i didn't release all of the icons. The final version will cover all 'hilight' icons except specific application icons (such math, midi etc.)
All icons are 32 bits, anti-aliased, and they have shadows and transparencies.
I tried to make my icons as original i could, unfortunately i had to use some concepts from other OSes and desktops.
All designs have been created by me and some of them are very original, at least on my opinion ;)
The result of my work is a fresh, comic, clean, unique and modern set of icons.
I used Ulead Photoimpact 7. Ok, this is a program that only turns on the Windows Operative System... hopefully the Wine developers will soon allow me to run it under Linux instead.

NOIA ICONS & SKINS
The Noia icons are released (at date creation of this file) for may diferent platforms, from Mac OSX to cellular phones, for Gnome including old computers (Amiga), PDAs (Symbian, Linux KDEed and GNOMEed), the 'popular' WindowsXP. But, the most complete (and the base for the other releases is the KDE version).

NOIA FOR KDE ICONLIST
The Noia KDE contains about 600 original icons, plus a trhoober. This is the list of icons contained in this iconset:
