Same with the product information in the icons.
Many icon themes use one or two colors (not counting greyscale shading).
Is there a convenient way to set up a mask so that distros and versions
of distros can overlay their own colors? Acceptance of the icons would
be easier if there were a simple way to tune them to fit in with
established desktop themes.
Is that really the point? I think no, the key message of the icons is to
strengthen the ODF brand. And that application independent! For ODF it
is important that people understand the openness of the format, that it
is based on a standard and that it can be used with different applications.
From my point of view it makes really sense to have this unique icons
for ODF files. And hopefully most often OpenOffice.org is the default
app on the system to open these files.
I am not sure if it would be really helpful if all distros and all ODF
handling applications would use their own icons. We can probably do a
proper marketing for OOo with keeping the ODF icons in their original
design. The same would be true for the OOo brand. We should focus on the
message that OOo is the best application to work with ODF.
Just my 2 cents
