OpenOffice Icons Gone!!

[sayakb]

Hello all
I once remember downloading an OO update which removed my toolbar icons. Today, after yet another update, I still don't see the icons. Please see attached thumbnail.

You should be able to restore the icons easily, if it is what I think.
Open the application OO Writer for instance. Then go to Tools - Customize then select the Toolbars tab. Once there under OpenOffice.org Writer Toolbars you will see a drop down menu titled 'Toolbar'. If you click on that you probably have Text only selected. You can change this to Icons only or Text & Icons.
You can select the Toolbar that you want this to affect on the left of this screen.

Unfortunately, I don't think it is that simple
Check out this screenshot, it is set to "icons only". Also "Text and Icons" have no effect:

Thats a shame. Have you tried re-installing OpenOffice?

reinstalling won't resolve, just delete the openoffice folder in the hidden home directory, then start up oo again, should fix it.

Well, didn't I mention that I upgraded it recently. I guess it installed the newer version, so no point in re-installing.

Tried that, but no use. The directory gets created again as soon as I launch OO (which is ofcourse, normal behavior), but I still don't have the icons..

EDIT: I found that changing the Icon theme to anything other than Tango (that I currently use) fixes it. What can I do to make it work with Tango?

Edit:
Yes you can get it to work with Tango

sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-style-tango

[forestpixie]

try reinstalling tango - don't uninstall first - use synaptic, search for opeoffice.org-style and mark for reinstallation

I think I know why this problem arose. Instead of installing tango-icon-theme, I just copied it from my friend's box to my /usr/share/icons. So it might not have installed the openoffice.org-style-tango package.
Thanks, the solution worked for me
