So you mean that gnome is using it as a floppy icon, so we shouldnt use the
same one as a save and save as icon. I dont see the problem in this as most of
libreoffice's users are not gnome users and most computers these days dont have
floppy drives, so most people wouldnt see a floppy icon in gnome as well.

I think the blue fits in better than the purple if you see the icons in the
standard and formatting toolbars. You have blue in quite a number of icons,
while you have no purple in any. About it looking outdated, with icons at 16x16
and 24x24, users can barely see the level of detail being put into these svg
icons which result in them looking blurry and unclear, so the simpler the
design, the easier it is for users to see. This is one of the problems i see
plaguing the gnome tango icons at such small icon sizes.

Look forward to see what he comes up with.
