Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

Very good Office Suite...but the toolbar icons are so lame that nobody will use it! Where´s the problem? If you can code such a nice application, why can´t you just take the kde-icons from openoffice, or even make it themeable???!

good funcionality but looks like a win95-app - JKT

Yes, the look and feel needs a lot of work and it is something that the volunteers and developers are working on - the primary aim of this release was to get a stable and functional version out the door. Now that has happened, the developers can focus more on refining the look and feel. Be aware, though, that there are only a very few people willing and/or able to do this work and that it is all done voluntarily! Feel free to drop by the trinity.neoffice.org site to lend a hand.

Imrpving the interface - pm149

The main programmer has given NeoOffice a lovely light grey surround, to replace the old dark grey. If you are able to do a very small amount of stuff in Terminal, you can use a more modern set of icons, which are the very same Crystal icons used in OpenOffice 2.0, with some improvements:

That website gives you an idea of the improved look. Now, what's stopping you giving this free program a try?
