Prevent icons from being added

Post by mfreeman72 »

This question is for any version of Softmaker Office, including but not limited to FreeOffice.

Is there a way to prevent the Linux .deb installer from imposing its document icons into my theme? I use a theme that I prefer, and the document icons that Softmaker Office/FreeOffice adds to my theme and sets for all of its associated icons don't match that theme at all. I would prefer to use the icons that come with the theme. It's incredibly annoying to have to go through and undo all of the document icons assignments that were forced onto my system by the installer (and any updates that happen), just to get it back to what I wanted in the first place.

Perhaps the installer should just add the icons but not impose them onto the file types unless the user wants them. Or maybe the installer could prompt the user, asking whether or not to use SoftMaker's custom document icons.
