[Solved] Toolbar Icons have run away (in 2.4 Beta)

Post by saphil »

OS Ubuntu Hardy Heron Flight 5 (alpha) Linux
OOo Version 2.4 Beta
Hardy comes with some cutting edge stuff, and OOo2.4Beta is included. My issue is that the toolbar icons have been replaced with text legends, which take up more room. I vaguely remember there was a control to choose text or icons on previous versions but since I was satisfied with the icons I cannot remember where the control was. I have made a pretty thorough search of the options and customize dialogs, but have not found a control to handle this. Does anyone know where I could look for this?

Hi AckNack!
There it was, exactly as you said, however there are still no icons in my toolbars. Maybe this means I should be patient and wait for 2.4 to come out of beta. :-(

Check in Synaptic that the openoffice.org2-style-... packages are installed.

That was it. Synaptic said that ***-style-default had unsupported dependencies and could not be installed. So the decision was to install no style but Ubuntu-Human, which was not chosen. I installed all the styles I could, So let's see..

OpenOffice was set (by default) to tango style in Tools --> Options --> View. Tango was not installed, resulting in (default behaviour) text-only icons. Thanks for your help, guys.

Additionally, without some sort of styles installed Extension manager wouldn't show its buttons or scroll-bar. I would never have thought that this issue was the cause of extension manager not working!
