Human Theme for OpenOffice Programs

[Athanasius]

I am a little surprised that Ubuntu does not have a Human theme for OpenOffice. Crystal is all right, the other one is dumb and the (industrial) Gnome theme is horrible. Someone should make one.

Have you any skills in icon design? Perhaps you should try it...:-k

I am afraid that I do not nor do I have the time. I already spend too much time trying to learn how Ubuntu works.

OO is supposed to be getting a Tango icon theme pretty soon, which fits in pretty well with Ubuntu's so a dedicated Human theme probably wouldn't be worth the effort. If you don't want to wait you can use the theme found here (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/38088601/), which makes things a lot prettier (see the screenshot I attached).

That is quite nice, thanks. Tango is better than the other ones.

Very cool, the Tango one is miles better than the default Open Office theme. Anyone know if this is one of the new things added to Feisty Fawn?

How are you handling the OS fonts? I can never get my fonts that clear in Ubuntu :(

[Athanasius]

I just tried it and it looks all right

How do you get yours to look so good? Mine still has the nasty looking File/Edit/View bar:

Edit: It actually doesn't seem to be picking up the new icons, no idea why.

I haven't messed around with my fonts for months, but I'm pretty sure all of the changes I made to fonts are covered in the screenshot I've attached . You can configure all of that by running gnome-font-properties and dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config. I'm also using the patches found here (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=235526) and OO 2.1.

I'm think you need to have the gnome settings daemon running if you're running xfce. As for the icons make sure that you set the icon size to small or it will look all screwy like that.

I have began to put together an icon theme for OpenOffice based on the work of Jakub Steiner and some of the Human icons. The icon file can be downloaded here (http://gabriel.hurley.googlepages.com/images_industrial.zip).
