no icon for Track Changes
Hello,
I do NOT find any icon for your "Track Changes" feature; please advise how I create or customize such an icon. Actually, it could be very helpful to have it on the toolbar. Thank you so much for your time!
Kind regards Ivan Penev

On my Web page at http://audilab.bme.mcgill.ca/~funnell/swil_ooo.html
are two icons that I created for this purpose, and a pointer to
instructions for associating icons with commands. The instructions
given above by Brian Barker can then be used to add the commands and
their new icons to the toolbar.

Sorry: no drag and drop.
I trust this helps.

Re: no icon for Track Changes
Posted by ci...@gmx.com.
The thread has prompted me to put up a couple of long-overdue
enhancement requests:
124791 - drag & drop icons
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124791
124794 - a toolbar icon for every command.
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124794
'Record' is not very obvious. It might be worth considering putting up
one suggesting changing the 'icon' to 'track changes' or better,
Robert Funnell's icon.

Ivan, please be sure to review the chapter Dave refers to. The link to the
specific chapter is
https://wiki.openoffice.org/w/images/8/86/0217WG3-CustomizingWriter.pdf
As regards drag and drop to tool bar, it is likely that is a reference to
the customization process.
Select "View | Toolbars | Customize..." from the menu.
The "Customize" dialog opens prepared for editing the Standard toolbar. If
the "Add..." button is clicked an "Add Commands" dialog appears with two
list boxes, "Category" and "Commands". Entries in the "Commands" list box
can be dragged into the "Toolbar Content Commands" list box of the
"Customize" dialog.
The drag and drop doesn't happen directly onto the toolbar in Writer. It is
done between the "Add Commands" and "Customize" dialog boxes.
The commands for revision marking are found in two categories in the "Add
Commands" dialog.
In the "Add Commands" dialog select "View" from the "Category" list and
then find "Show" on the "Commands" list. Add that to the desired toolbar by
drag and drop or by using the "Add" button.
The other revision marking commands will be found by selecting "Edit" from
the "Category" list. The relevant commands that are now available in the
"Commands" list are "Accept Change", "Accept or Reject", "Protect Records",
"Record" and finally "Reject Change".
None of these commands has a default icon so you will need to select your
own icon for each so the button isn't just a flat gray box on the modified
toolbar.

Rereading your reply, I do not understand what you mean by "drag and
drop", because I do not know how that can be done. Please read chapter
17 of the Writer User Guide at the link I gave you before, which
explains in detail how to do what you want.

I do not know if there is a specific icon for "Track Changes" included
in the standard icon set. A quick look through the set suggests to me
that there is not one for this specific function. However, you can use
any icon from the standard icon set, or import your own. It does not
matter if the icon originally represented another function, the only
important thing is that you know what it represents on your toolbar.

Information about creating custom toolbar icons can be found in chapter
17 of the Writer User Guide:

The guide itself is a little out of date, but the toolbar customization
