Well, I am only talking about an icon set. This would be a small step
forward.
Chronology matter though.
One begins with a proper understanding of the requirements and
consequences of HiDPI for application UI design. Based on that, one
plans the implementation of a new UI overhaul. From there, one proceeds
to consistently design the distinct elements of the new UI (logos and
icons for both color modes). I need to set aside time for this and find
the right talent. Thinking as I’m typing this…:)

It is a complex area requiring a mixed skill set, and programming is
actually part of it. See “High DPI Desktop Application Development on

From my point of view, it is a good thing not to rush. It must be
approached with the right methodology. Perhaps we could attract paid
talent for this. I would be ready to make a financial contribution as
long as we have a simple and transparent procedure for it. It is a
feature that makes or breaks the experience for UHD‑monitor users.
I am not sure if we can find people to pay and if we can find a
developer to work on our code.
But who knows...

Matthias

Hi Matthias,
As I wrote in 2024, the code is ready, but there does not seem to
be great demand for a new icon set.
The demand is there, and it should be a high priority. We simply do
not have the manpower for it. I was going to provide some help, but
I was taken aback by other obligations. I recently switched to 4K
and 5K monitors, and the graphic performance of OpenOffice is
subpar. It literally does not meet the minimum standard: the fonts
are blurry and misaligned, and the icons are tiny and unmanageable.
The software looks like abandonware on this generation of
monitors—and this is the generation we are moving into. So yes, it
is a very serious problem that needs to be addressed.
Yes, there is a lot of work to do if we want to take AOO into the
next years...
Personally, I thought that working on a new icon set (we *really*
need one for Dark Mode) would be something for those "no programmers".
Still hoping for people to "get up their ass" ;-)
Regards, Matthias

Yes, that option is already available (although the iconset is
incomplete). You can test it if you compile from branch
Pilot-Pirx-iconset.
From my point of view it should be merged to Trunk.
It can be merged (to trunk) at any time...
But will there be development afterwards? As I wrote in 2024, the
code is ready, but there does not seem to be great demand for a
new icon set.

Matthias
Best,
Pedro

I am interested in adding this Theme as it is now to trunk
(assuming that I or others can further contribute to it after
it is merged to trunk without having to branch again?) But I
have no idea what steps to take.
I can merge the PR to trunk. Then it can be worked on there and
later
backported to AOO42X.
If nobody else is able to merge, just give me a hint when it is
finally
discussed.
