Hello again, regarding the new design - on Windows I noticed that the Writer/Web exe/app does not have an updated icon as the other apps, it still uses the old one (a star on a stylized document with the seagulls).
Also, the new icons, especially the Writer one, does not look nice on the standard XP quickstart bar, because it uses same blue color and it kind of looks smaller and less noticeable than the other quickstart icons. In that toolbar it looks like a balloon (dialogue-like) so it actually reminds of an IM application and not a document editor. I wish this new look would get more thorough testing before even deciding it is the right one for this suite.
