    Post HOWTO: Reclaim your original OpenOffice.org 2.0 look!

    After installing the latest OpenOffice.org 2.0, by default, it uses the original icon theme, and not the one installed with (K)Ubuntu (Industrial or Crystal).

    Lets restore that icon theme, and reclaim our good old consistant looking desktop!

    So, how do we do it?

    First, install latest OO.o 2.0.
    Second, back up the latest install icon theme:
    Code:
    sudo mv /opt/openoffice.org2.0/share/config/images.zip /opt/openoffice.org2.0/share/config/images.zip.old
    And last, copy the icon theme you would like to use:
    Code:
    sudo cp /usr/lib/openoffice.org2/share/config/images_industrial.zip /opt/openoffice.org2.0/share/config/images.zip
    * images_crystal.zip (for Kubuntu) or images_hicontrast.zip (for users with sight disabilities).

    Restart OpenOffice, and voila!

    I would like to know how to do the opposite (kinda): how to use the default icons (the ones that come with OOo) with the "normal" OOo2 (i.e., the v1.9.129 that comes with Ubuntu).

    Any ideas?

    How do you change the icons to the ones used in the Windows version of OpenOffice2??

    Is there a place to download new icon themes for Ooo2?
