Hello,

I tried the Slovenian on Windows (from that sausage build with many
languages) and it seems to work. But here are some observations that are
about the logos and new OOo look.

Has the official OOo logo changed? The one in the Windows installer's right
top corner and on the splash screen and on the welcome window uses a wider
font. I did not know anything about rebranding. Was that really necessary?
Now all the webpages, including all the localization teams sites must be
redesigned. I mean, who decides on these things, Hamburg, Oracle or the
community as a whole? Changing a logo of an application that resides on so
many desktops without letting the main community members know beforehand
about it - strange, not? At least there could be a vote or something between
several options. And the change is introduced with a minor release ...
Really strange.

Also the Oracle logo, which is graphically more readable than Sun's on the
old blue background design (now red on white), is even more present than the
(new) OOo logo (like in the splash screen - see where your eyes focus!).
Also the desktop link has a hint that ends "Supported by Oracle." It seems
that by downloading OOo official build you get also a big advertisment
machine for Oracle. This was also in previous builds, with Sun, so nothing
new here, but this graphically more explicit logo and white background make
my eyes really sore. Isn't this a bit over the top, couldn't it be for 15%
smaller? Remember, Oracle logo is longer than Sun's, so probably same height
was used, but that meant a wider space, which means a bigger area, a bigger
logo. So maybe a bit downsizing of the Oracle logo on all applications
should be applied. IMHO.

Lp, m.
