Re: [libreoffice-design] Complete redesign of the interface!

Of course, you're right, if I understand you, but I did not say that LO
should not look great for linux, on the contrary. It seems that there have
been attempts to redesign the icons, to be modern and..., but I can only see
a bunch of different pictograms whose design not belong to any of these
systems philosophy. Access to the tools is a major problem. I'm interested
in just who decides about all of this and how I contribute, Does it make
sense to talk about this, or continue business as usual :)
