Ubuntu
openoffice.org package

Why is the Galaxy icon set not included by default?

Asked by Serrano Pereira

The OpenOffice.org package for Ubuntu does not include the default Galaxy icon set. This is the default icon set for OOo. For the Ubuntu OOo package, they changed the default icon set to Human, and removed the Galaxy icon set. If I want to use the Galaxy icon set, I need to separately install the package "openoffice.org-style-galaxy". Why?

This really bugs me for the following reasons:
1) The Galaxy icon set looks *really* nice. I think it looks way better than any of the other icon sets for OOo.
2) The Galaxy icon set is the default icon set for OOo, why remove it from the Ubuntu OOo package?

I'd really like to see this changes in the upcoming releases. Where should I post a bug report about this issue?

It is changable, just like all of Linux. The default browser is Firefox which I absolutely loathe and quickly install my preferred Arora and Chromium.

Just because something is default doesn't mean it cannot be changed to your liking. I'm sure the human theme has been used to gel the interface with the rest of the default human theme of the OS.

It's not really a bug but you canlog one using this guide:

Thanks for your reply. I get your point. But I still think it's strange that they can't at least just leave the icon set in the package.
