Hi Christoph, all,

thanks for the description of the necessities for the moment and further 
development. They are very important and highly appreciated!

Even if I'd like to see different mimetype icons in the final release 
than the OOo3.2.0 icons, I don't think we can create some in the short 
timeframe, if we want to avoid lower quality.

We'll have to tell our users about the planned update of the graphics, 
but at least we provide colors...

This version should contain the final mimetype icons IMHO, even if they 
would rather be part of the "community branding" for LibO 3.5. But I 
don't want to release another version with the "old" icons - and don't 
see a reason to create an interim branding set of icons for just one 
release.
