about OOo 3.2's icons:
=== begin quote ===
Obviously someone on the OOo development team simply doesn't care how
badly they screw things up for users (as evidenced by the brain-dead
decision to switch from colored icons to greyscale)...
=== end quote ===
I have the latest (3.2.1, is that the latest?) OOo on Vista Home
Premium and on Win XP Pro. The icons are *not* greyscale, they are
coloured. What am I missing, please.
As I understand it, the icons in question are those that represent the
OOo component (that is, those for Writer, Calc, etc.) -- not the ones in
toolbars, for example. What do you see for these?
Not sure what you mean; I only have the Quickstarter in my System Tray
and do everything from there. Ah. If I create a shortcut on my desktop
for, say, Writer then that shortcut has an icon that is blue, white and
grey. The icon is two circles. The larger is for Writer as opposed to
Calc or Impress or .... It is grey and white. The other, smaller circle
partly overlaps the larger at about 10 o'clock. It represents OOo (two
birds) and is blue and white. The Calc shortcut has the same smaller
circle as Writer's but a different larger one although that too is grey
and white. Is this what the debate is about?
The debate is about the icon with each file. The icon with each
file,sample.odt, sample.odp, sample.ods, are all greyscale rather than
different colours as in earlier versions of OOo making it harder to
quickly tell which file to open.
Ah. OK Now I see, thanks. The icon for each type of *document* - text,
spreadsheet, presentation etc. Yes, I agree. That's very poor and should be
changed. Has someone filed an issue? What Issue Number? - I'll vote for it.
