Personal remark: I would strongly prefer standardized icon sets for any
file format. IMHO the clear type recognition should be the main
priority
for ease of use.
As mentioned before: because different applications provide different
actions to one file format (one is viewer, others are meant to modify
the file), I'd like to add an area in the icons that shows a symbol
or graphical element of the standard application opening the file.
mmh, maybe you can show us something real instead of repeating again
and again that it should have been done differently.
Sorry, if I sound repetitive. Peter wrote, that he didn't read the whole
discussion, therefore I repeated the main content.
Show us your icons and we can discuss it.
My intention here was to find a basic agreement on what is important on
such icons - before we start to create them.
But in the meantime the Art Project started a few drafts, some of them
quite different form any present document icon, some more "classical".
The icons (especially mine) are not more than a graphical basis for an
idea how it could look like - and that it is possible to combine the
information even on small icons.
These first drafts have been uploaded to the artist sandbox at the wiki:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/Artist_Sandbox
And sorry if it sounds unfriendly but talking only is not enough and
we already know your opinion.
No problem - even if I think that a discussion is much more than talking
about different opinions. If you can convince me (and others of course)
that the grey icons without OOo symbol serve OOo better than colored
ones (or the other way round), this would lead to a broader, if not
general, agreement on the principles behind the icons.
And on such a basis the design specialists can work on an optimized set
of icons.
Best regards
Bernhard
