Hi Michael. Are you sure that the most recent screen shot really is what you
wanted to post?
http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/35095/gnome-industrial-new.png
still looks exactly the same as ...-old.png on my system...

To re-iterate on my comments: I admit that the current method of visualizing
disabled icons makes some/many icons no longer recognizable. OK, they are
disabled anyway, so why would anyone want to recognize them anyway? Assuming
that there is a valid need to do so, we need to find a better way to "fade"
these icons.

The requitrements so far are:
- a disabled icon must be clearly distinguishable from an enabled one
- a disabled icon must still be recognizable, i.e. users need to be able to
identify the sunbject of the icon image

These requirements seem to be contradictuous per se, but looking at current
desktops like Windows and Gnome proves that it is possible to satisfay them both
at once. Judging from
http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/19718/old-to-new.png,
there seems to be at least one solution that is far mor effective than the one
depicted in all the Writer screenshots.

Would it be helpful to focus our discussion on measurable aspects, like "the
contrast ratio must not be lower than x:y" or similar?
