Hi Bernhard, hi Thorsten! I keep the full mail, since I'd like to forward it to Thorsten - who might not be aware of this mail.

But we do have the wiki page ;-) http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/LibreOffice_Initial_Icons#Source_Code_Integration However, I've added the link to the most recent files to the issue tracker. > It's a great result for a really collaborative work - and we go on this > way with the new logo (I like Nik's proposal very much - will comment it > tomorrow) and other tasks ! Thorsten, might that work? I didn't follow the discussion that closely concerning how to export / do the icons. Do you need some help, then please ask on the mailing list. Unfortunately, I'm unable to help today/tomorrow, since I'm also a bit busy as well :-\ Cheers, Christoph -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to design+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/design/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
