IIRC, Andrew C. Dent already did something like this with the icons that are in the repository [though these things tend to bitrot over time, as new icons are introduced etc.].

Unfortunately, before the introduction of the icon theming, OOo had many places with hardcoded code paths that used code like 'if ( darkTheme ) useHicontrast(); else useNormal();' That hasn't been cleaned up, even though with the concept of the icon switching, it would be much easier to just generally switch the theme, and be done with that. If you are a programmer & would be interested to help, I'll be happy to show you the pieces that need the cleanup. > 4) Increase/decrease the compression of each icon set depending on the > performance impact (i.e., we can reduce compression if it will make > OOo load faster, or we can increase it if the extra memory use is > inconsequential). There are some tricks already used, like ordering the icons according to their use in the .zip IIRC.
