Yes I noticed that, and that's one of the reasons I left for now the crystal theme. The commit that removed the Oxygen theme (actually a revert where some files had moved) also teaches where to put a new iconset, something that was not clear for me. > On a side question... freedesktop defined a standard way to > name icons: if AOOo change to that standard (yes, I know, > it's not easy, but I'm speculating...) maybe everything > will be more easy.

I think we use them already. For all I know, the tango files are labelled GPL but I think that refers to the software used to create them and not to the files themselves, which I understand are Public Domain. I think we may have to remove other icons but I haven't looked at all into the base icons yet and I am crossing fingers that some of them will be covered by the SGA. Pedro.

The problem here is not to create the icon but to package them in a way AOOo can use: If you look inside the compressed file there are thousands of images and the naming convention is not easy to understand. Someone will need to explain how to build that icon set. On a side question... freedesktop defined a standard way to name icons: if AOOo change to that standard (yes, I know, it's not easy, but I'm speculating...) maybe everything will be more easy. Maybe it could be possible to use the icons provided by the desktop environment. This way AOOo will only need ONE fall-back theme to use when something is missing. Just my 2 crazy ยข. Cheers Ricardo

Hi; Yes it's very difficult, but it's one of those things where people with different (non-programming) skills can make a huge contribution.
