I don't see this. MS files on mine do *not* have an ODF anywhere on the icon. Windows XP Pro sp3, OOo 3.2.1 release. >> No it is not a bug.

That's similar to what I see - its not totally plain white though, it is a greyscale icon, with a small empty rectangular box in the upper left - it is in the same place as where the ODF is displayed on OOo files, but again, there is *no ODF* there. Why in the world would these icons be changed on a minor point release? This was a really, really bad decision... 1. All of the MS file icons are greyscale, and very plain - BAD 2. All of the ODF icons are the same color - *really* BAD 3. Uninstalling OOo 3.2.1 and reinstalling 3.2.0 does *not* restore the old icons - really, really, *really* BAD 4. One redeeming quality - I actually do like the new *designs* on the icons, I just want the *colors* back. Most people are visually oriented, and quickly scan file types by icon, and color is what makes them stand out. I have shown these to 15 people here in our office now, and every - single - one - of - them said they didn't like them and asked me how to get the old icons back. This is INSANE. Does anyone know how to change these icons either via GPO, or through some kind of script/command line magic? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
