Human Icons for OpenOffice

Note: Ubuntu Feisty will be shipped with the Human Icons. I am working on them as you read this. As a result, this icon package mentioned below will *not* be maintained.

With the adoption of the Tango-like "Human" icon theme in Ubuntu Dapper, the Industrial icons in OpenOffice began to stick out like a sore thumb.

The solution: a new icon file! Download it here.

Then, just go to "/usr/lib/openoffice/share/config/" and replace the old "images_industrial.zip" with the one you just downloaded.

If the theme is not applied, close OpenOffice, clear out the contents of "~/.ooo-2.0/user/config/imagecache", then restart the program.

This is, of course a work in progress, but an improvement at any rate.

The download stops and disappears at 1.8mb out of 3.3mb. I can't download the whole file, in other words. My download manager just disappears.

Are these new icons going to be in Feisty?

I hope so. I've been trying to contact the people in charge of OpenOffice on Ubuntu.

Try downloading it without the download manager. (ie via Firefox)

Wow, it looks like Abiword.

I'm impressed.

These icons look great! But after installing them I discovered that they do not include the symbols and operators under the "Formula Editor" on the "Insert" toolbar. There is still a text menu that indicates what the operators are but the symbols are helpful.

Any plans to include those in future editions?

hopefully someone will also address theming of openoffice outside of Gnome: under icewm it looks terrible!

Looks fantastic!! The same look as Abiword and Gnumeric.
