Is there any chance to see the GNOME version of Open Office 2.0? SUSE
10.0 and Ubuntu 5.10 have it, but not FC4 and Rawhide which uses some
generic icon theme, or something. It looks much better...
Cheers!

What you mean is "the Novell version of the icons", rather than the
"GNOME version" as the gnome integration features and components are the
same in FC4, upstream and Novell/Ubuntu. There's no functional different
in that arena.
If you volunteer to verify that all the icons are correct, and there no
left arrows for used for "right" etc. then perhaps :-)

As OOo changed the way it use icons, is really easy to change the icon
set, just replace the /usr/lib/openoffice.org/share/config/images.zip
file and you are done.
So is just a matter of "lifting" images.zip from a SUSE or Ubuntu
install and start testing.
PS: I'm still thinking the Bluecurve OOo icon set from FC2-FC3 was the
most beautiful OOo icon set ever (despite the fact it was incomplete,
partly Bluecurve and partly Industrial)

I'll try that, thanks.

I have FC4 Rawhide on my test partition so I can try to play with it,
thanks :)

That's what I was thinking about, Bluecurve icon set :) I'd like to see
my favorte Bluecurve set. Hope it would be designed, or something :)
Cheers!

I "lifted" the images_industrial.zip from ubuntu and made my FC4 OOo
look so much better.
I agree that Bluecurve was the best. Too bad it seems to be dead.
PS
Don't try to symlink the images.zip file. I did this and OOo blows up
when you load help.
I did a search for this on the OOo website and discovered it is a
known bug they don't plan on fixing.

GNOME, Metacity Window manager theme has been changed. However the
default Icon set is still Bluecurve
We were talking about the icons in OpenOffice.org.
Just before FC2 release Garrett made a huge effort and created a
Bluecurve OOo icon set - http://people.redhat.com/~glesage/ooo_icons/
This was used by OOo in FC2 and FC3 ( OOo 1.1.x branch).
In FC4 we have OOo 2.0 with its default icon set, which look just like a
MS Office rip-off (probably because its target was StarOffice on Windows).
However, in Linux world we have alternate icon sets for OOo (the
Bluecurve one is not complete) which at least are conforming with the
GNOME HIG and would make a much consistent desktop experience.

I known in Ubuntu that there are other changes as well. In Ubuntu
under "Preferences->View->User Interface"
there is an option next to "Icon Size" that allows the user to choose
the icon style. This option lets the user choose between different
"images_*.zip" and also has an *auto* option that I haven't tried.
This change would be great for FC. It would enable the making of icon
theme rpms that contain an "images_*.zip". To the best of my
knowledge, right now there is no way to make a clean rpm that does
this because the rpm would need to replace images.zip which is owned
by the OOo rpm.

Though patching OO.o so it can pull images from the freedesktop-approved
icon theme hierarchy would be much better. Right now if I understand it
well there will always be problems trying to sync theme images with the
OO.o zipfile.
This is the kind of patch Sun will never write BTW, if it happens it
will come from the Linux community
