This is a tcl script for generating OOo toolbar/menu icon themes, from kde (or other) icon sets.
Rather than focusing on individual themes for each icon set, I decided to provide a tool so that the users can create their own custom icon themes. That said, some common icon-themes from kde-look are enclosed (base = crystal).
Install
-------
Extract the downloaded file.
* To install the default theme in OOo 1.1.x, run:
"tclsh quickInstall.tcl"
* To install any custom themes,
Specify your OOo config directory in config.tcl and the theme directory, run:
"tclsh genbar.tcl"

(0.1) Initial release
(0.2) Second release (improved functionality)
* OOo config directory is now backed up before continuing.
* Icons are now stored in a different folder, that should fix the loading error issue.
* Image index for bitmaps starts from 0.
* Option to turn icon-masking off, since some themes don't look good with masking.
* Option to add navigation icons to the function toolbar (screen-shot 2).
* few additional icons (nuvola + noia) and slots.
(0.3) - Third release (more improvements + additions)
* Koen Muylkens has joined in (more icons!)
* Significant updates in the script (no more major changes in future, hopefully).
* Option to use your default-kde icons
(slect icon theme in kcontrol, run script and the icons will appear in OOo)
* Option to add a navigation toolbar
* There is a static *untested* windows config theme under "Extras".
* Number of base icons is > 80 (22x22)
(0.32)
* Crystal base icons for font/para properties
* slotlist.csv format changed to allow icons for macros
* Runs 30% faster than v-0.3 (defaults)
* Folder "Extras" contains gimp files for font icons
(v 0.4)
* Several new icons, total > 150 (22x22)
* Configuration is now set in a separate file (config.tcl)
* New quick-install mode for OOo 1.1.x. To install the base theme, run: "tclsh quickInstall.tcl"
(no need to update config.tcl)
* Script improvements
* Static windows theme had to be removed due to space constraints.
(v 0.5)
* imagelist.xml format changed, should reduce the overhead for OOo startup.
* Script runs almost twice as fast as version 0.4 (defaults).
* Additional icons for draw, and some others updated.
* Error on qtrc not available bug fixed, and other small improvements.
* Separate submission for generating static themes: (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=8529)
(v 0.52)

I can't get OpenOffice back to the normality.
I'm using debian and my icons are blank.
How can we uninstall your theme?
And what should be the right install?

But, icons in menues and tool bars are all the same size. we can't configure smaller icons for menues. for tool bars 22x22 are ok, but for menues 16x16 must be better. is there a way to change that??
Any way, thanks, my OOo suit is better since I found your job.

It would be also nice to have 22x22 icons in toolbars and 16x16 icons in menu. Is that combination possible or do all the icons have to have the same size??
Thanks for the tool anyway!

(path to openoffice)/user/config/soffice.cfg/
Path to openoffice can be found in your ~/.sversionrc
The script also makes a backup (soffice.cfg.bak), rename it as soffice.cfg to restore any previous customizations.
That should fix it.

I love the thing to be able to switch icons since OO really look crap by default.
However I get a black icons no matter what I try to do.
I have modded the conf-file to chose gorilla and I have changed it to my OO conf-dir.
As I execute the script I get these messages
ThemeDir: Gorilla/22x22/
icon-size = (22,22)
num icons: 171
OpenOffice config directory:
/home/johan/.openoffice/user/config/soffice.cfg/
Backing up config dir (soffice.cfg) to:
/home/johan/.openoffice/user/config/soffice.cfg.bak2/
Background Color: (#d6d6d6)
**.**********.******..*****.*****......**.*.........*************...****......****.*.........*..*...................................****......*............................ done
which to me seems to be in order. The color is darker than the "forbidden" color, is it not?
But the icons are still black. As soon as I remove the files added to the OO conf-dir everything is alright, hence I got the old icons.
So how do I solve this?
