On the one hand, I agree that OOo's interface is looking a bit dated. But on the other hand, being a largely free project, the onus is on motivated users to actually improve things. The one big stumbling block seems to be the OOo uses its own custom widget toolkit, instead of a more common toolkit such as gtk. So finding people who can add some bling to the interface may be a bit difficult - particularly since it has to work on Linux, OSX and Windows ( to name a few ). Having said that, users can still easily collect icon sets and submit them. There are currently 3 icons sets included in OOo, and this is somewhat of an improvement. -- Daniel Kasak IT Developer NUS Consulting Group Level 5, 77 Pacific Highway North Sydney, NSW, Australia 2060 T: (+61) 2 9922-7676 / F: (+61) 2 9922 7989 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: http://www.nusconsulting.com.au --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
