Re: [libreoffice-design] LibreOffice Icons

Hi all!

I have been away from these discussions, just reading and not 
participating, but here is one more contribution.

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Toolbar-Mimetype-Icons.svg

These are the Tango-inspired version of the Mimetype icons for toolbar 
usage.  I'd like to know your opinion/criticism/suggestions.. :-)

About size, they are 24px + 2px (1px empty border) = 26px. I don't know 
if it's the only needed size... Can anyone talk more about it? And also, 
are more icons needed?

A great Sunday to you guys,
~Paulo
