We've been discussing the omission of color pretty thoroughly since the OOo branding was changed, but it seems that it lead to... nothing. Is the lack of color in application icons and file icons final? Could we have an official vote on this? I think this is a topic important enough to really pay attention to (especially now that we're nearing release), because it could really, really bring down the usability of OOo. P. S. The best office suite icons I've seen come from the elementary icon pack (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Elementary+Icons?content=73439), which color the entire icon with a particular color and puts a nice big symbol in the middle (like notes for a sound file, or a W for a Word file). It's really easy to pick out the right files that way and it looks really great.
