Hi Björn,

Depending on who built your LibreOffice package you will find just one
(and can install the others later on) or you will find many – Ubuntu for
instance ships only Human by default. However, you should be able to
install the others, their Ubuntu package names e.g. start with
libreoffice-style-*.
On Windows and Mac, the official builds should ship with all the icon
sets.
You can switch between them from within Tools - Options... - LibreOffice
- View - Icon size and style.
It's a big problem though that our themes are incredibly unwieldy (~4000
images per theme, badly organised) and that none of the themes is
actually complete, not even Ooo's Galaxy theme.

Because it always appears together the hardly changing new document /
open document icons..?
(Eventually, as everyone moves away from folders though, we might have
to adapt the Open document icon though... they seem to increasingly be
replaced by timelines/tags/nothing and people will be increasingly
unfamiliar with folders, even though these likely won't ever go away
completely.)

Sorry, no, haven't registered yet.
