Core team

Nuno Pinheiro

Co-Founder & Lead Designer

Co-founded Oxygen Design, proudly part of KDE, alongside Filip Fila. Before that, joined the original Oxygen project shortly after it kicked off in 2005, while working at SUSE, and took the lead early on, coordinating over 2000 icons, wallpapers, sounds, and window styles that defined KDE4’s look. Also worked on the Crystal icon set for OpenOffice.org. These days he’s a Senior UI/UX Designer at KDAB, and still can’t resist a good icon problem.

Original Oxygen

Oxygen Design is a new project, but it stands on the shoulders of the original Oxygen, which started at a KDE gathering in Berlin in March 2005, known as the “Appeal meeting.”

  • Kenneth Wimerone of the people who kicked off the project at the Appeal meeting, setting out to give KDE a modern, consistent icon theme.
  • David Vignonicreator of the Nuvola icon set, and one of the people who got the project going, shaping what a “KDE icon” even looks like.
