------- Additional comments from greys...@openoffice.org Thu Jul 15 07:51:36 +0000 2010 ------- For a second there, I thought “why is there an AT&T logo in my quicklaunch?" So much for brand identity. The application icon doesn’t bug me. The new file icons however, are making me nuts. The whole color scheme is silly, and I think it is a step backward in user experience. I’ve been using OOo for years and when I opened it up, it looked as if I was picking my application off of a piece of paper. It’s so bland and colorless. No, it isn’t “minimalist” or “sleek.” It’s just ugly and the lack of color and all of the icons looking exactly the same makes everything kind of blend into the background. The old color scheme made OOo seem friendly and easy to work with from the start. It just seems so impersonal now. It’s cold and mechanical and new users will be turned off by it. I can understand uniformity, but this is just stupid. The old icons were easily identifiable without even having to read anything. You could tell by the shape and color what you were clicking on right away. It’s just the fact that having everything look exactly the same slows you down because you can’t sift through things as easily. You wouldn’t think that something like this would be a big deal, but it’s HUGE. This is the first thing someone sees when they open OOo, and it puts you in an irritated mood immediately because you have to stop and take the time to look around for what you want since everything kinda mushes together. This is the face of OOo, it should stay colorful, friendly, and easily accessible. Heck, I LIKE the new design! Just adjust the hue on the darn things! Make them slight pastel colors if you want to stay drab.
