I have posted all over the place and computer magazines are already running articles on LibreOffice, mentioning how Oracle sent OpenOffice to dungeon. The links you give, lh, are quite frankly the same old crap - colorless icons we have been incessantly complaining about for over 6 months now. Since you insist, I posted a comment in the discussion of your links pointing to the finest examples of icons for this project. (http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding/Mimetype_Icons/Proposals) But you know, this project you mention is dead, lh. LibreOffice is already underway to replace OpenOffice. And I must say, it is perhaps a blessing in disguise: Thanks to Oracle for embittering the community enough to take matters into its own hands! OpenOffice is now really libre. Oracle adé! - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I noticed this too just after installing LibreOffice. The Start Center opens with colored icons, but the menus have the monochrome ones we've all been whining about here. So, aside from the fact that Libre is corporation-independent, I can't understand the recommendations (e.g., by tommy27, e7 and perhaps areynaldos?) to switch to Libre. I've gone back to the resource-saving Go-Oo version 3.2.1 with the colored-icon solution presented in this Issue. Let's hope (and encourage!) Libre to demonstrate better sense than the Go-Oo devs and breaks away from the monochromatic approach. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

WHAT IS THE BIG PROBLEM? So following the recommendation of the community council we would like to make the icons better. That’s why we are creating an i-team Wait a minute! Aren't these the same people who once said they are just icons and therefore introduced them into a minor-release? And now they are creating an I-Team (???) for just icons to come up with some incredibly mysterious and ingenious way of making monochrome icons more usable? I recommend that ALL VOTERS on this list bombard these I-Team creators and bureaucrats with protests against their new creation and letting them know how preposterous their antics are and the need to get us back to simplicity and usability as quickly as possible. They welcome the input of users and experts. Yes, that's what it says: EXPERTS. Can you believe it?! Innovation Comedy of the 21st Century, folks! Oh yeah - do point out that a solution is already available. Just install release 3.2.0 and have a look! And if they don't fancy that, they can always take a look at all the icon contributions right here in this very issue! Don't let them get away with this! (By the way, for some reason they think BLUE helps users identify the document format and avoid conversion problems, and many of us know how much freaking blue we already have on Windows OS' and some Linux window managers (KDE) by default as well.

P2 is correct. P2 marks severe problems which affect a significant number of customers Issues with this priority must be fixed before the target release (see Target milestone), which usually is the next major release, and should be dealt with as soon as possible. Not fixing them for the target release is not acceptable. Unfortunately, the Target Milestone = OOo 3.x, which means at the latest this issue would have to be resolved by release OOo 4.0 (yikes!) Setting the Issue Type = TASK is a marker that no source code is involved in the (already existing) fix, thereby avoiding any possible argument by Marketing Branding et al. based on the overhead complexity and effort of making a change. As far as I can tell, this is now in the hands of (currently vacationing) decision makers in Oracle Marketing. I would hope to hear their position on this in by the end of October, but I wouldn't bet on that. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I can see it is being discussed and, as we see above, Marketing is on vacation. So greater-than-zero-and-less-than-one would perhaps be more fairly representative. Thanks for the response.

Unfortunately, there is no reason to think so, tommy27. It is still assigned to nobody (i.e., requirements) and is, by definition, not a show-stopper, though it should be! As a matter of fact, in light of the controversy surrounding this issue, the definition of show stopper should be modified to include issues that will grossly effect branding/marketing of OOo. Moreover, as tanstaafl has pointed out, the implementation of new icons turned out to be a major change introduced in a minor release and this should be undone in the very next release, whether major or minor, but certainly at the latest in 3.3 @cornouws I think classifying this as ENHANCEMENT is incorrect since it does not improve a feature (the monochrome icons removed the feature of color!).

We've complained more than adequately - to the point of incredibility. Repeatedly venting anger and even hostility reduces the serious discussion of this issue to a cheap chat-room. Please refrain from swearing, name-calling or expressing violence towards developers. Do that somewhere else, if you must, but NOT HERE. We must move forward on this issue. What does that mean? It means this: 1) This issue has been set from Priority 3 (P3) to Priority 2 (P2). What that does, among other things, is REQUIRING that this issue be resolved for the next release. Not fixing it is unacceptable. Issues with this priority must be fixed before the target release (see Target milestone), which usually is the next major release, and should be dealt with as soon as possible. Not fixing them for the target release is not acceptable. (See http://www.openoffice.org/scdocs/ddIssues_EnterModify.html#priority for more info on Priorities.) @corounws: You mentioned that you do not see a big change that this will be finalised before 3.3.0. Is this still the case when this has P2? If so, why? 2) @corounws: What needs to be done to assign this issue a Target Milestone? It is indeed troubling that this has not been set for this issue! And what does Assigned to: requirements (requirements) mean? This also does not sound promising. We would expect to see a username or an issue owner here and not, as in this case, a plural noun. Please advise! 2) cornouws' comment (Thu Jul 15 20:55:40 + 2010) has evidently been helpful to some of us (i.e., working together to create a temporary solution), but it is probably beyond the skills of the discussion participants (including my own) to integrate new icons into the OOo source code and recompile or even to create an extension (which is also no piece of cake!). What has been offered so far (i.e. colored shell file icons that can be integrated into the user's OS) is modestly helpful. That is exemplary of the kind moving forward we need to do, so thanks to prowlerxpla, jakobkramer and ticotexas for these! [Honorable mention goes to kongnan (°±°)] !!! And at the time of writing morobus just submitted a new soffice.exe !!! That's the spirit! 3) Until this issue is resolved, use OOo 3.2.0 or Go-OO 3.2.0. unless there is some fix or feature in 3.2.1 that is worth sacrificing the colored icons. syzygy successfully deleted 3.2.1 and installed Go-OO 3.2. to return to the old colored icons. If you do that, let us know by posting here! (I had read the release notes and saw the new icons before doing an update. Since there are no fixes, security patches or enhancements in 3.2.1 that are important for me, I decided not to update from 3.2.0 to 3.2.1. I then deleted OOo 3.2.0 and tried Go-OO 3.2.0., which uses only a bit more than half as much memory than OOo does on Win XP. - Another contribution just came in from vvzh, making this entire comment seem nearly superfluous... mb - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

[framework-issues] [Issue 112141] Reintroduce color codes f or mime type icons

This issue was barely given attention in the recent Community Newsletter http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=announcemsgNo=423. Document icon design: Christoph will formulate a proposal to be discussed with Stefan. This will be presented to the CC on the CC discuss mailing list. That was it. :[ The latest Community Council Meeting Minutes http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Community_Council/Minutes#Minutes_of_Meetings mentions that 'current ODF only icons seem to be undesired by the community', but there is NO MENTION of the issue of monochrome vs. color icons! Why not?!!! Please address this issue in the August meeting!!! Or is the CC not the right place for this??? cornouws can you comment on this? In the Minutes there is a link to the original, very lengthy discussion on ODF vs. OOo icons, but there is no mention in there about the (colorless) start center icons. I did find a thread to that and the topic of color was brought up on April 19: http://marketing.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=brandingmsgNo=122 And the next response in that thread is exactly what has happened!!! - Hi Rosana, Jens, everyone, Is there really no possible compromise on the use of a color scheme? And if not, why? I think this might be a huge usability hindrance. (I mean, before, people thought to click the green to create a spreadsheet or click the orange for a presentation. Now that's gone, and it's a lot harder to quickly find the wanted application or file. Is the step back really necessary?) = And here was the answer given: -- 1. Why is there a need for complete lack of colors (besides blue). What is the rationale? The reason is to make the ODF icons promiment and not take the attention away from them by placing other elements with different colors on the start center. But as mentioned above the start center can be modified. = For those interested, you can follow the rest of that debate here: http://marketing.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=brandingmsgNo=130 and continue following it by clicking on Next in thread: New start center icons towards the top of each post. Summary: One contributor summed up the discussion nicely with: if we are going to discuss the color issue in that early stage, why do we expect the others to accept the single color version? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

It is a severe usability problem which will affect ALL customers and not just a noticeable number. P3 marks non-trivial problems which probably affect a noticeable number of users. P2 marks severe problems which affect a significant number of customers Issues with this priority must be fixed before the target release (see Target milestone), which usually is the next major release, and should be dealt with as soon as possible. Not fixing them for the target release is not acceptable. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

In fact, these colorless icons are a reason I will be sticking with OOo 3.2.0. —– The same monotone color for all module (Writer, Calc, etc) icons reduces the recognizability of the modules themselves, thereby decreasing the usability and user-friendliness within OOo. “By making the application icons uniform in color and orb-like, OOo is really distinguishing itself from its main competitor”[1] and shooting itself in the foot. It is a step counter-productive to attracting users from the competitor. And surely with all the press and attention OpenOffice has gotten over the years, it is not suffering from an identity crisis anymore. —– “The similarity of the icons may also symbolically reflect the modular architecture of OOo…” [1] and though that is important for developers (who know that anyway), the symbolism is trivial for end users (who know it anyway, too, and are not interested in architectural symbolism). —– “There is no OpenOffice.org branding in [the file icons] whatsoever.” [1] Perhaps a good idea because the seagulls are a bit messy in the file icons, but the ODF “logo” is bland and ugly and does not achieve a “lighter and less cluttered” appearance, as is claimed for the application icons. Moreover, end-users could give a hoot about pushing ODF as a standard open format. I wish the design decision makers would stop trying to push their idealism and concentrate instead on making an excellent product which speaks for itself! If they absolutely have to, why not keep the “orb” theme and include a simple “O” for odf-docs and a blank “orb” for non-odf, including, of course, COLOR! “It is hoped that these will become the universal ODF icons that other applications supporting ODF will adopt.”[1] As they are, I certainly hope not! - 1 - http://www.patentpending.co.nz/soapbox/index.php/openoffice-org-new-setup-file-and-application-icons - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

This chosen example date does not distinguish between DD, and D, because 31 contains two-digits. This is particularly disadvantageous in countries other than the Unites States where single-digit days are expressed in a two-digit form with a leading zero. For example: D = 5 April 1999 (31 December 1999) DD = 05 April 1999 (31 December 1999) This also results in apparent redundant previews (e.g. 12/31/99) of date fields: M/D/YY = 12/31/99 (using April 5, 1999 = 4/5/99) MM/DD/YY = 12/31/99 (using April 5, 1999 = 04/05/99) Requested fix: change 31 to a single-digit day to reflect leading zero in preview. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The only way to remove them is either by turning (ELS) off or by deleting the icon entry entirely from Commands List under Toolbar Content. Problem reproduction steps: 1) In Calc, activate ELS (Options Language Settings Languages) by selecting the checkboxes enabling support for Asian and/or CCTL (complex text layout) languages. 2) Customize the Format toolbar in Calc to include the four icons for alternative text direction (right to left [text], left to right [text], , right to left [paragraph], top to bottom [paragraph]) 3) Try to remove the appearance of the icons by deactivating the corresponding checkbox.
