Hi Mirek, Do you have a link to a page where gnome icons are registred ? I agree we should upstream our icons if we follow their guidelines. Then we should'nt follow Gnome HIG because we can upstream to them, it's the wrong way : we should decide whether Gnome icon style could fitt well in LibO (

Hy every one I tried to color code icons, according to this old Mirek proposal : http://clickortap.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/color-codes/ , and using black when the icon has a too general purpose. The result is here (it's based on Issa mock-Up). Personnaly, I'm not any more convinced that havin

Hi Axel, Emir Yâsin, All, You're right, having the possibility to contrast the icons is a good think. What we could do, keeping the color coded style, is having basic color as the same warm grey for each icon, and the importants elements of the icon colored. Exemple : take the proposal of landsca

Thanks Alex. Oh, and one thing I forgot to mention: New icons should also be Retina Display compatible. It would cause quite a frustration if new icons looked blurry on new Mac displays. Just a reminder. Apple provides optimization guides on these links: https://developer.apple.com/library/m

As we're talking about icons, I just discovered that it's quite hard to find the settings for the icon-scheme. It's not quite located where you'd expect it to be, in the appearance section in the options dialog. Instead they're hiding in view...(?) Maybe something to be changed? /Paul On 201
