Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Ping Simon: Rebranding etc
Hi Hal, Thanks for checking. There are quite a few with the OOo icon at the left of the control bars, including figures 2, 5, and 10 (colour picker). Haven't got my ubuntu image set up yet so can't check but perhaps the linux build is still using some legacy image files.

Hal -- Forwarded message -- From: Hal Parker Date: Friday, April 22, 2011 Subject: Ping Simon: Rebranding etc To: documentation@libreoffice.org I thought I had replaced all those pix, so you may have an old copy of that file.

Sorry, loaded up Ubuntu and the current screenshots look correct. Will just go ahead and have a stab at making some changes then attach them here and/or on Alfresco.
