Hi, Ever wondered how many icons Microsoft is using for office? Well see Jensen Harris' blog on the Office 2007 UI for the answer: http://blogs.msdn.com/jensenh/archive/2006/05/12/596112.aspx -Kurt Back to top Richard Foersom Guest Posted: Sat May 13, 2006 11:14 am    Post subject: Re: How many icons for Office? At Microsoft icons are not particually meant to be comprehensible, they are more part of a fashion statement. Used to shine up an old product so it can be sold as new. Whatever they draw on these icons, I do hope they keep the textual tool tips so it is possible understand the icons. Remember the old saying: One well chosen word, says more than a 1000 Microsoft icons can do.

MS is now using PNG (the new way as he says), alpha channels and 256 colors... We are still using bmp's and less than 256 colos in TImagelist... Oh, sorry that should have been posted to off-topics as is more off-topic than "Stardock's 10 rules for success" ;-P -Kurt Back to top Marc Rohloff [TeamB] Guest Posted: Sat May 13, 2006 5:14 pm    Post subject: Re: How many icons for Office?

What you posted was a trivia questions and is not appropriate here. If you felt that in some small detail it related to the Delphi community then you probably should have stated that to begin with. -- Marc Rohloff [TeamB] marc rohloff -at- myrealbox -dot- com Back to top Kurt Bilde Guest Posted: Sat May 13, 2006 6:14 pm    Post subject: Re: How many icons for Office?

If you want to be a cop, then please be a consistent one! Even a cop have to be nice and not biased and admit when they where wrong in their judgment.. Cool off, take a rest and please take what ever, that have come across, out on some one else! -Kurt Back to top Lauchlan M Guest Posted: Sun May 14, 2006 7:15 am    Post subject: Re: How many icons for Office?

Cool off, take a rest and please take what ever, that have come across, out on some one else! Not that I care overly much whether the best place to discuss MS Office icons is here, UI Design, or off-topic, but . . . I basically agree with you on this. Delphi runs on Windows, supports MS Office via COM Automation, and Delphi developers may even have design/GUI issues trying to make their apps tie in with MS icons look and feel. On the other hand, I've seen Team B members enthusastically participate in far less relevant threads, like where the best place to stay is when going to holiday in Hawaii or the pros and cons of Microsoft's position on anti-trust issues. At the most, all it would seem to warrant would be a gentle 'perhaps this kind of topic would be best discussed in BPOT' kind of answer, IMO.
