Created attachment 77151 [details] zip of proposed icons for 3.4 release Guys, 3.4 would benefit from a new set of killer/clean icons for the first ApacheOO release. By far the cleanest and most eye-pleasing set of base icons for (writer, calc, impress, base, etc...) I have seen are found here: http://0dd0ne.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24#/d2dw9dt I have approached the author and obtained permission for inclusion of the icons in 3.4. The permission is included below in full and to aid in whatever followup you may need: <quote> Re: OpenOffice Icons - Possible Use in Next Release? from ~0dd0ne to ~drankinatty drankinatty thanks for the request and I would be honored to have them submitted as possible icons for the future release. ---------- drankinatty said the following: OddOne, Your openoffice icons are killer. Would you mind if I asked Apache to include them as the icons for the upcoming Apache OpenOffice release of 3.4? I'm not associated with the project, I just help them with bug reporting and beta testing. If you will agree to it, then I will make a suggestion to the developers pointing them to your page. If not, I wont. Just let me know. Thanks. You truly do some of the best icons I've ever seen. </quote> I have included a zip of the icons as an attachment to this report. Take a look and let me know!
David, Please make sure that 0dd0ne understands that he will need to license these icons under the Apache License. http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html Regards, Dave
It seems that Apache OpenOffice 3.4 will still ship with traditional icons (the same ones used in OpenOffice.org 3.2) for continuity, but indeed this is interesting artwork that could be considered for Apache OpenOffice 4.0, that will see some major changes. Branding discussions are going on at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Branding+Style+Guide feel free to contribute! (Dave's remark about licenses will have to be satisfied too).
getting rid of value "enhancement" for field "severity". For enhancement the field "issue type" shall be used.
For the record, I had opened a discussion in the EN forum, easier to post screenshots and proposals: http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=106&t=55270 Feel free to add your proposal in the forum.
