Hi,
In short: it would be great to have the CWS iconswitching1 integrated ;-)
Longer version:
We already have 'Industrial' icon theme in the OOo CVS, and more themes
are under way, see e.g. the status of 'Crystal' and 'Mono' themes
here: http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~kendy/ooo/icons/status/
To make use of them, we need a nice and simple way of switching between
them. Such thing is implemented in the iconswitching1 CWS. In fact, in
addition to the images.zip file, we have images_<theme-name>.zip for
every theme, and the user can switch between them using 'Tools->
Options...-> OpenOffice.org-> View-> Icon size and style'. The switch
takes effect immediately after 'OK' for menus and toolbars, the rest of
the images change after the OOo restart.
I was told that a specification has to be created for such a feature---
it is here
http://specs.openoffice.org/ui_in_general/icons/icon-theme-switching.sxw
---and that an iTeam has to be formed (it also already is). I have also
provided a build of the CWS (without the Crystal icon theme; see a
separate mail about this) here:
http://www.go-oo.org/tstooo/iconswitching1-m119
Please, what are the next steps?
Future work:
Would be great to remove all the a11y icons (lch_*, sch_*, etc.) from
images.zip and create a special HiContrast theme (there already is
an initial version of such theme in the CWS iconswtching1; see
hicontrast-to-theme.pl script that creates it. It just still contains
all the *h_* icons as well.) This would reduce the size of all the themes
to 1/2, which would even cut down the startup time a bit.
What do you think of this approach? Does it make sense?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Jan
