Hi Kai,

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.
A screenshot would be very helpful here, I guess. Could you please
provide one or two?
We definitely have to investigate here.
The Industrial icons are sized 24x24. May it be that on some places the
toolbars are resized according to this size, and elsewhere they are
according to the 26x26, the size of the default images?
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?
It is easy to change the default, yes. But is that really that bad? I
mean, when someone uses Industrial icon theme for his desktop, I bet that
it is much less consistent to have the default OOo icons there, instead of
Industrial ones (though grey-blue mixed). Both Gnome Industrial icons and
OOo Industrial icons were created by the same artist, AFAIK.
I can try to introduce a check for the actual icon theme used, and default
to Industrial only if it is really used in the desktop. What do you
think?
Regards,
Jan
