Hello all,
at first I'd like to introduce myself to all of you not already knowing me.
I'm a 40 years old German, active in different places inside the OOo
community. My main activity is the OpenOffice.org Art project in the moment.
After reading the German translation of Eric B's interview with
MacGeneration.fr I got notice of your work on a new iconset for OOo.
As I don't know how far this efforts have been gone, I'd like to point
you to the work of Stella Schulze, the graphic designer at Sun, Hamburg
who designed most of the UI in OOo2.
She wanted to share her work with the community and started to upload
her work to the UI project:
http://ui.openoffice.org/VisualDesign/
Especially the Galaxy iconset might be interesting for you:
http://ui.openoffice.org/VisualDesign/OOo_galaxy.html
On the other hand there has just been a graphics teacher introducing
herself on [email protected], the mailing list of the Art
project.
She noticed the "un-Mac-ish" look of OOo and would like to help out
(perhaps with the help of her students).
So if you still need help in this topic, don't hesitate to reply here
(or even better: join [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
What I and others want to achieve is a more or less equal look of OOo on
all the different platforms. This is one of the central point if we want
to improve our visual identity in public.
So we'll have to define an iconset (not only for the UI, but as
application and document icons too), that can be used with minor
modifications on Mac OS X, different Linux distributions and Windows (at
least XP and Vista). And on all these platforms the icons should look as
if they had been specifically designed for that platform.
Let's work together on that important task!
Best regards
Bernhard
