Description bmarcelly 2005-03-05 14:45:02 UTC
The problem concerns 1.1 users who have added several toolbar buttons with specific 
icons (icons available in OOo 1.1 share/ config/ symbol library or manually created). 
These heavy users have memorized each specific action with an icon, and they may have 
5, 10 or more icons like this.

OOo 2.0 does not provide icons for customization of toolbars, i.e. all displayed icons 
are already used by an existing function.
If the user decides to choose the available icons he/she will have a long and painful 
process of memorizing another icon for each of its buttons.
Through the import feature, the user can get back its old icons within share/ config/ 
symbol BUT then the icons are displayed differently : the transparency is not handled 
same. Take for example icon s_snow.bmp
No wonder if the user rejects version 2.0.

Request1
The icon import function should convert an OOo 1.1 compatible icon into an OOo 2.0 
icon :
- taking into account the transparency
- automatically shrinking a square icon to 16x16 instead of flatly refusing to handle 
it; it is up to the user to decide if the resulting icon is acceptable or not.

Request2
The icon import function can import more than one icon. However only the icons used by 
a customized button are memorized.
It should be possible to memorize imported icons independent of the use, i.e. the 
import should create and store png icons to be used later.

Request3
All standard OOo 1.1 icons should be available in the icon library, and already 
converted in OOo 2.0 format.

CJ. Accepted. Changed target to ooo later.

I suggest this is marked as a duplicate of Issue 53206, as this may have 
progressed further. Again, due to the general lack of complaints / votes re. 
this Issue in 3yrs, I would believe these icons are no longer required...
