Alternatives to the present Unified ODF Icons

Here we want to collect drafts that should show that:

  • it is possible to combine ODF and application specific symbols
  • keep color information to differ between the file formats
  • use the colors from the present ODF logo

while keeping the main goal: support ODF by recognition on the users desktops.

Updating the OOo3 SplashScreen to follow the mimetype icon colorscheme

The official OOo3 SplashScreen doesn't use the new colorscheme for the mimetype icons.

Therefore we're working on updating the splashscreen:

Actual Splash Screen
modified colored points and gradient

The source of the modified version is here.
I updated the aboutbox and the installer too:

Aboutbox with updated colored points
Installer with added colored points


added spheres instead of points - avoiding the problem of similar colors to background. Brighter blue main icon color.

Alternative by Jens Habermann

Removed the points and included the colors in the curved line

Another Splash screen alternative

We're discussing on the mailing list how much the splash screen may be modified while respecting the commmunity's vote.
