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?
many thanks for your contributions so far. This is really a huge feature
and you did a very good job on this.
From the technical side, I already took a first look at your patches and
consider them to be ok. On the other hand, after taking a look at the
installed OOo on a GTK desktop (XFCE), I'm not sure, if this CWS is
already in a state to be integrated.
My point is, that the Industrial theme seems to be (to me) not ready for
shipment at all. This is not an art question (although this might
be also discussed), but a question of consistency. The whole icon theme
seems to be mixed, there are 'grey' icons beside 'blue' icons in one
flyer, and I had the feeling that some icons are just at the wrong
position. We definitely have to investigate here. As a conclusion,
I consider the current OOo icon theme as the reference theme, so that
I really do not recommend the automatic switch as default, which would
give us the 'broken' Industrial on many many systems. What do you
think regarding this?
Regards
Kai
