          Issue ID: 124794
        Issue Type: ENHANCEMENT
           Summary: ENHANCEMENT: A toolbar icon for every command
           Product: General
           Version: 4.0.1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: ui
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: circul...@gmx.com

One of the nicest features AOO is the very wide choice of toolbar icons
presented.

However at present a large number of commands lack a true icon. Unfortunately
many of these are extremely useful, some arguably indispensable. 

The result is that the user has to resort to the text labels (as used in the
menus) as icons when customising the toolbar. Many of these are extremely
cumbersome, spanning 30 or more characters. Having to install such 'icons'
rather defeats the point of having a toolbar.

Here are some egregious examples of commands which may be though of as vital:

In the Bullets and Numbering toolbar:

'Continue previous numbering'
'To Previous Paragraph in Level'
'To Next Paragraph in Level'

'Outline numbering'

'Word count'

'Sidebar'

'New Window'

'Select to Beginning of Paragraph'

A welcome enhancement would be to develop a consistent set of icons so that
every command has a true icon and the alphabetical ones are entirely
eliminated.

In this would be sensible to build on and develop the existing methodology or
'syntax' (for want of a better term), so that the icons are comprehensible and
consistent.

This idea was first floated in bug 121766 and received encouragement. Sorry for
the delay in posting. It has been prompted by the thread today on the users
mailing list under the title 'no icon for track changes'.
