Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: Home for the breeze icon theme

I thought it was possible to discriminate the Windows version to present a
distinct icon set per version.
Since Tango doesn't look native to Windows I think using another icon set
with a more native feel would fit better, even for previous versions of
Windows. For example, Office 13 and 16 also adopt a different design
language than Aero but they don't look out of place in Windows 7.

And barely anyone is using previous versions of Wnidows to 7 after the
end-of-life for XP.
I also think that Sifr looks better on MacOS than Breeze. A lot of work was
done in these icon sets that look native in these two OSes. It is a waste
not to put them front and center to the LibreOffice users on those OSes.

Much like Tango is perfect for Gnome and Breeze also for KDE.
