------- Additional comments from [email protected] Sat Jul 31 11:26:41 +0000 2010 ------- @cornows I will answer to each point of your post: 1- the icon swap package helped me a lot. the monochrome 3.2.1 icons made OOo annoying and unproductive to use and were the reason I had to downgrade to OOo 3.2.0. Now I'm finally enjoying the latest OOo release because icons are again color-coded. I know many users who are finally using 3.2.1 with recolored icons after sticking with 3.2.0 becuase of the monochrome ODF icons. 2- I wonder what problems do you have with sendspace... I think it's one of the best webhosting services on the net. Upload & download is easy and fast. 3- old undesired solution... what are you talking about? I don't understand... we used old 3.2.0 icons in the workaround files not because of their graphic design but just because they were color-coded and were already ready. as many people have already said, the problem about 3.2.1 icons was not their design or the ODF tag... the only problem was the monochromatic background that made different applications file types very hard to distinguish... the title of the issue is indeed "bring back color codes" and not "bring back 3.2.0 design". if the OOo team had released 3.2.1 ODF tagged icons with color coded backgrounds (green --> Calc. orange --> Draw etc. etc.) nobody would have complained at all. 4- integration of color coded icons in next release. I don't see exactly were's the technical issue about asking your icon designer just to recolorize the 3.2.1 icons with the usual color associations we had in past releases. as you may see some users here attached here some examples of recolored 3.2.1 icons. as I said in previous post, I understand your aim was to promote the ODF brand but you did it in the wrong way making many users angry (222 vote speak by themselves). just keep the ODF tag on each icon and just change background colors. it's so easy... no rocket science knowledge is needed to do that. 5- regarding the icon swap as an extension I do not have technical knowledge to pack those files as an extension, but I think that there should be at least somebody able to do it among the OOo developers. 6- thanks for feedback. you are the only one of the OOo team who's spending time answering users requests in this issue page. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
