Detail

Can we update the MS Office filetype icons with the attached ones? I've made an attempt to make them look like the rest of the icons shipped with TWiki4.

In the words of one of our users, "the new MS Office icons aren’t even recognizable, and all the images are faded out. I liked the older ones better." This sentiment has been echoed a few times. Comparison of new (attached) and default (bundled with TWiki4) icons (the Visio one is not shipped, but something I made for our group):

What was the reason for changing look of these icons? Is there a legal issue involved?

I did not want to make the MS icons stand out from other filetypes. The icon images come from the MS suite for Mac OS X.

Personally I don't find the proposed icons more clear, but that may be a cultural difference.

I guess it's just a question of familiarity. The ppt and xls icons are quite different from what most Windows users are used to. We're replacing them in our installation. If there isn't much interest, then feel free to close the bug.

By the way, Arthur, I've also added the Visio icon to TWiki:TWiki.TWikiDocGraphics for you to consider adding to the default icon set.

I trust Arthur on this one, and I'm afraid it doesn't look like it is attracting much interest. Thanks for reporting though smile

Closing.
