        + Is that issue for the Navigator too (I dont read it from the issue)
          and in Writer the choice anycase was to allow opening separate too. (Cor, after

* UI changes integrated the last week:

    + More Breeze icons (Andreas)
    + .ui improvements (Bubli)

* Accordion widget (Heiko)
 
    + positivive feedback to possible use of the accordion widget
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accordion_%28GUI%29
    + it is quite a change if we introduce that in LibreOffice (Kendy)
        + development of the widget itself
        + native theming - Gtk+ / OS X / Qt / Windows - are there native impl's? (Kendy)
        + is there something close that would provide similar functionality in LibreOffice? (Kendy)
            + like a modified tree view? (Kendy)
                + different that you can open any level (Heiko)
                + powerful, but not that easy to use
            + actually it seems that eg. Calligra uses a modified tree view (Heiko)
        + disadvantage of accordion: uses quite a lot of space (Heiko)
    + would be good to have a graphical designer to think about this - just to have something nice 
& creative (Heiko)
        + even accordion would be a big change - so we can experiment (Kendy)
AI  + create a CoreHack to modify the tree view to have a Proof-of-concept, so that we can try how 
it feels (Kendy)
    + interesting use case for trying the accordion could be the Tools -> Options... dialog 
(Kendy/Heiko)

* Icon Updates / Issues

    + Shouldn't the icons in the Start Center always be the TDF/LibreOffice official icons 
regardless of the icon theme? (Pedro)

      https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90127
        + KDE HIG forbid to change the official icons (Heiko)
            + like, when you have the LibreOffice official icon / logo, it shouldn't be branded
        + are the Writer / Calc / ... icons actually logos? (Kendy)
            + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Gallery_Logos
            + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Gallery_Icons
            + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding
