Concerning the size of the icons, I totally agree with you. They are too large. I don't really have an oppinion about the style of the icons and I think the colours are ok. I have, in fact, never used MsOffice and I don't know how these icons look like, but yes, without any text it is hard to understand which icon launches which part of the suite. Simon, the icons should not have text on them but should illustrate the purpose of the application - look at the ones used in FC3 (to which I think we should revert). And the colors are *not* OK, they break consistency with the rest of the icons from the panel/menu. Sorry for no being clear enough concerning the text. I just wanted to say that I need the mouse-over text to find out which icon is which, because they are not clear. I DID not mean that there should be text added to the icons!! Adding text is probably not the correct answer - that is done allready. Why not use the icons used in FC<3? They are not as fancy, but they are clear and consistent with the rest of the desktop. And i'll pick "clear and consistent" over "fancy" any day. Where did those icons come from anyway? And then there is those with poor eyesigth - what do they see? probably just a colored "blob". Because they are just that. A colored blob - no good, clear, and recognizable shape. The point of an icon is to provide a visual shortcut that describes what will happen. An orange wavey piece of paper with a seagull, and a feinter orange square doesn't say "presentation program", at least to me. The previous icons were better. Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk wrote:

From Sun, those are the default ones from OOo 2.0
