Re: [libreoffice-design] New icon set

Hi

I don't think using system icons would be a good idea : except it could be
more integrated, it would break the logic behind mono/bi-chrome icons and
color codes (see Mirek proposal :
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards/Flat_icon_set, I
personally am a supporter of this one ).

More of that, having OS icons only for GNU/Lunx Libreoffice versions would
be a useless amount of work (to verify it works fine, it uses the good icon
...). So we should maintain one and only one icon set, with the possibility
for the user to change it if he wants, but others icons sets wouldn't be
officially supported (extensions ? )
