Re: [libreoffice-design] MimeType icons: More time for improvements...

Hi Christoph,

Yeah, your point was well taken. :) I'll make a 256px icon for Math and 
then dedicate to the status bar icon issue. Yesterday I read about it, 
but I didn't understand very well what's need to do. Today I'll read the 
mails again and see what can I do. :D Thank you for remind this issue.

And sorry if my words sounded like "I can't pick every tasks alone". >_< 
(english knocks me out all the time. hahaha).
What I mean is the topics I can help somehow are simple design and UI 
related. I don't know much about marketing or typography, so I'll not to 
try meddle in these fields. :) Everything must be done by teamwork, of 
course. :D

Best Regards! :D
~Paulo
