Re: [libreoffice-design] Weak icons
Welcome again. I installed LibreOffice 3.3.1 some time ago. I noticed that all of new file type icons are too much bolded and they aren't smoothed as other file type icons (eg. PDF, BMP etc.). For this reason LibO file type icons are more visible than other.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Weak icons
Hi, I think that file type icons sent to me by you will be great. Interface graphics (small toolbar icons in fe. Writer) for me is also (for today) bad - this icons have too much colors and, some of them, too many detail (eg. "Paste", "Font color"). This icons should be clear to understand and simple in design. Some of them have "cold" colors and others have more colors (eg. "Increase indent" [mainly white and dark blue] and "Font color" [blue and brown]) - they are diffrent in colors, I don't like it. *For me all of this icons should be similar in colors and simplicity*. It's my opinion. Greetings 2011/2/3 Ivan M. > Hi Pawel, > > 2011/2/3 Paweł K. : > > I am writing about file type icons (fe.

Thanks for clarifying that - Christoph was right (he usually is ;P) We had lots of negative feedback on the OOo mailing lists about 3.2.1 icons (mainly because they lacked color) - it was quite a significant issue and it made lots of users angry. One of the first things LibO did was to revert the icons to the pre-3.2.1 style before new icons could be implemented.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Weak icons
I am writing about file type icons (fe. DOC, DOCX, ODT) and also about icons in LibreOffice toolbars (fe. button "Save", "Bold"). As I said, I like icons from OpenOffice 3.2.1.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Weak icons
Hi all, since Paweł is not subscribed, I'll CC him. Paweł, the use of the "old" icons was a step to improve usability until our own icons set is ready. So I'd propose you give the LibreOffice 3.2.1 a try that will appear in a few days. In this bugfix release version, we'll add the following icon design: http://luxate.blogspot.com/search/label/Art Status page: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/LibreOffice_Initial_Icons I hope this helps ... and by the way, the icons within OpenOffice.org will be changed soon - because of the usability issues I've already mentioned.
