I agree that showing icons with a caption is far more user-friendly, in fact a study made by Microsoft confirmed this. Our tips are usually not a big help either – while they include the name of the function, they don't include a description. However, there is an option for extended tips – but if you enable that the name of the function isn't shown. All that gives us a grand glorious zero points for our tooltips, even if we could get more quite easily. > I don't know the cabinet you talking about; I suggest less detailed icon > which have a notebook or computer towerbox box or file folder as base, put > up an Arrow which tells more of SAVE functionality. Notebooks and computers will likely be legacy devices in a few years, too. Also, it is quite hard to portrait either very accurately, if you have to hide them behind an arrow. All the same, between LibreOffice 3.5 and 3.6, we used this icon for saving: http://user-prompt.com/wp-content/uploads/TangoSave.png Which I like very much, but which people don't really understand. That's the cabinet icon Fitoschido was referring to. > Is a resolution necessary before questioning?

It looks like map to me. Most of our other icon themes use a compass icon – which seems better to me. Luckily, Alex has already replaced that icon in our Tango Testing icon theme. (Thanks, Alex!) You can try this theme by installing a 4.1 pre-release build and then switching icon themes by going to Tools > Options > LibreOffice > View, then use the combo box below Icon Size and Style. The star icon refers to people navigating by stars; maybe this is more understandable to people in Christian-influenced countries. (Given the whole tale with the three wise men finding Jesus and all.) I don't really know, though.
