Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 26937
Toolbar icons for added buttons display badly
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
When you add buttons to a toolbar and select an icon there are two problems: 1) It displays with a black instead of white background which can make it illegible (eg icon for insert special character). A restart of OOo sorts this out. 2) If you select an icon when OOo is showing small icons it scales it up blockily (is there such a word?) when you change icon size to large. When you restart OOo you get the small icon instead of the matching large one. Not exactly a show stopper but thought you'd like to know. Thanks for a wonderful piece of software, Peter

could not reproduce. Please tell us * How you add the icon (via menu or contextmenu,...) * What icon you add @maxweber: Tools|Options -> OpenOffice.org -> View
Open blank document. Select small icons if not already small (Tools/Options/OOo/View/Icon size) Right click on main button bar and choose customize Choose an entry from the left panel with no icon, say Application/Autopilot:fax click Add to add to the toolbar Then select the entry you've just added in the right hand panel and click the icons... button Select an icon, say the capital T and click OK in the icons panel You'll notice it's already given a black background. Click the OK button in the customize dialog and you'll have a new unreadable button on the bar. Changing to Large icons gives an even worse effect! HTH, Peter
confirming. Although I don't get an unreadable icon when I add the icon to the toolbar (not in the edit-dialog nor on the toolbar itself). When I switch to large mode, the icons background turns to magenta (OOo's mask color for transparency). The background stays magenta when I switch to small mode. Upon restart, the icon is displayed properly again. When I close OOo while the icons are set to large, a small icon is displayed instead of the large one (but it is displayed properly).- WHen I switch to small then, the icon stays small and gets the magenta backgroud. The attached screenshot shows the following: top row, left to right: * Icon was added while toolbar icons were set to small * Symbol size was set to large * Symbol size was set to small again bottom row: * OOo was restarted while the Icons were set to large So there definitely is something wrong here, but I assume the black background depends on the display driver.

HI->CD: As discussed, target to OOo 2.0
.
according to the announcement on releases (http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=releases&msgNo=7503) this issue will be re-targeted to OOo Later.
