Hi there all grammar-checking / proofreader implementors, :-)

It may look like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <oor:component-data oor:name="Linguistic" oor:package="org.openoffice.Office" xmlns:oor="http://openoffice.org/2001/registry"; xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";> <node oor:name="Images"> <node oor:name="ServiceNameEntries"> <node oor:name="MY_PROOFREADER_IMPLNAME" oor:op="fuse"> <prop oor:name="VendorImagesNode" oor:type="xs:string"> <value>MY_PROOFREADER_IMPLNAME.Images</value> </prop> </node> </node> <node oor:name="VendorImages"> <node oor:name="MY_PROOFREADER_IMPLNAME.Images" oor:op="fuse"> <prop oor:name="SpellAndGrammarDialogImage" oor:type="xs:string"> <value>%origin%/../../../../../images/dialog.png</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="SpellAndGrammarDialogImage_HC" oor:type="xs:string"> <value>%origin%/../../../../../images/dialog_hc.png</value> </prop> </node> </node> </node> </oor:component-data> Of course the node name "MY_PROOFREADER_IMPLNAME.Images" must be unique as well. The placeholder "%origin%" refers to the path of the xcu in your extension where you add those lines AFTER that extension got installed! The second image is of course the high-contrast version and must be provided as well. The defaults for both images can be found in the default_images project and are - default_images\svx\res\vendor01.png - default_images\svx\res\vendor01h.png You should keep the same sizes for your images. The extra width is needed because depending on language and OS (or user settings!) the width of the dialog may vary! This also implies that you can not easily add graphics to the right of the dialog and be sure that those will NOT get truncated or even invisible. Thus any specifics you want to get displayed should not move to far to the right in that image. Note: Since your extension may probably be used along with other OpenSource proofreaders for OOo and WILL be used with OOo's Hunspell spellchecker, the image in the dialog may constantly change depending on the language or if the spellchecker or proofreader was called. To avoid irritating "dia-show" like effects in that dialog when different logos get displayed I humbly like to ask that you consider to make use of the default images and only modify those to some extend. E.g. by adding something like "LanguageTool" or "CoGrOO" or some extra graphics.
