I’am using OpenOffice 3.2.1 and Opensuse 11.3 with KDE 4.4.4… When I use the KDE4 integration and the oxygen icon set, I’am getting a mixture of oxygen (KDE4) icons and crystal (KDE3) icons in the symbol panel (I hope this is the correct word in english). E.g. the icons for “bold”, “italic” or underlined are crystal icons instead of oxygen. I had the same “problem” with Opensuee 11.2 and older OpenOffice versions.
Interestingly, when I start OpenOffice in my root account, OpenOffice shows all icons correctly as oxygen icons. When creating a new user account (a test account), OpenOffice use the icon mixture. Also transfering the “.oo3” folder of root to my user account didn’t solve the “problem”.
Of course, this is not a real problem with OpenOffice, it’s more a desing error (but I like to solve it ;)).
Who else has a mixture of oxygen and crystal icons?

So I do not seem to be having this problem. I am using OpenOffice 3.2.1 and OpenSUSE11.3 (64 bit) with KDE 4.4.4. (release 4). When you say “KDE4 integration” which file are we talking about? I have the OpenOffice to openSUSE branding file installed, but not sure if this is the one you are talking about. In any case as I switch between the various icon sets, the “B U I” icons change with each icon set I select and appear to be correct. Could you post an image for us to look at by chance?
Thank You,
Hi,
thanks for the answer.
I can’t attach a desktop screenshot of OpenOffice, because I have to find a server where I can place my screenshot file and create a link (it would be a great improvement for this forum, if it would be possible to attach screenshoots to a comment) or I’am to stupid for it ;).
The Opensuse branding is installed. With KDE4 integration I mean “OpenOffice_org-KDE4” (When I’am working with OpenOffice, I have to deinstall the Integration, see also: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=616047).
I’am using the 32 bit version of OpenSuse and Release 2 of KDE4.4.4…
I can also switch the icon sets, e.g. when switching to Galaxy, the “B I U” icons are in the Galaxy style, but it’s not working for Oxygen, here the icons appear in the old Crystal style. I have the same issue on the notebook of my girlfriend (but with Opensuse 11.2). Perhaps it’s an issue of using 32bit or 64bit.

Try creating a new user. If it works right for it then the problem is in the KDE configurations ( ~/.kde4 ) somewhere. Don’t ask me where.
Hi gogalthorp,
I tried it. Also when created a new user, I got the Crystal icons instead of the Oxygen icons. Only OpenOffice in the root account is showing the right icons.
Now you know that in OpenOffice you can go into Tools / Options / View and switch between the icon files you have loaded for OpenOffice, Right? My selections are Automatic (Oxygen), Galaxy (Default), High Contrast, Crystal, Tango, Classic & Oxygen. Some of the choices seem to be present due to icon files loaded in Software Management. Switching between them and saying OK causes an instant change of ALL the icons for me.
Thank You,
Hi jdmcdaniel3,
this is what is not working on the computers I’am using.
I don’t have the styles Tango and Classic, because I didn’t installed them. The Styles Crystal, Galaxy, High Contrast and Oxygen are installed.
OpenOffice is changing to Oxygen, but the old crystal icons seems to be a part of Oxygen (as User). When looking into the complete icon set (e.g. by choosing a specific icon for a function), the Oxygen “B U I” icons are not there, but the corresponding Crystal icons.
