Re: [libreoffice-design] RE: What Happened to the Flat Icon Set

Some time ago, Paulo José proposed a more radical design of LibreOffice 
GUI including Faenza icons in it. You may take a look here 
http://pauloup.deviantart.com/gallery/28216273

Symbolic icons proposed in GNOME project are also far better than the 
current icons, but I agree some colors may improve their usability.

Having a new clean and neat GUI for LibreOffice it's more than necessary 
and maybe you could show us some mock-ups following a specific idea 
before starting to change all the icons.
