As with everything at ASF, you the developer who wants it to happen, should jump in and do the work to be sure that it is okay. You cannot rely on the rest of us explaining or doing it for you. I saw your earlier minimal comment, but i was waiting for you to provide the missing information. > ... from OpenOffice.org, openoffice marketing, sun, or anyone.

Yes, it is often easier to make one's own images. In the past someone offered in our mail archives to create an "icons set" for Forrest. Don't know what happened. I have often wondered about Forrest doing this itself. A small SVG source file would automatically generate a PNG format icon. i.e small rectangular icon with just the letters "PDF", or "POD", or "ODT", etc. See the example that creates the "MyGroup" or "MyTitle" banner images in a "forrest seed-sample" site. > I have emailed their marketing dept, so we'll see what happens.
