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".
i got notice so far, thanks. I have forgotten to enable automatic check for new messages on my [email protected] mail folder ;-)


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

i got it but i have no real opinion. As i mentioned before i don't need an application specific icons and i would always use what's the default icon set for ODF. And by the way i like the grey ones.


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.
we will see how the discussion moves forward on disc...@ux

Juergen


And on such a basis the design specialists can work on an optimized set of icons.

Best regards

Bernhard
