    + https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/22818

    + The idea was to have choice, not the default - right? (Kendy)
        + Yes, possibility to have only one row for the users that prefer such layout (Jay)
        + Created the xml file, hope to have a developer to switch easily (Jay)

* Mac version with single color (Jay)

    * All icon themes look clearer on a plain white/light background similar to LibreOffice Vanilla

    + The reason for the white is technical - cannot use the API in the sandboxed app (Kendy)
    + Actually in the newer OS X, the look changed, but LibreOffice still uses the old look (Jay)

    + We try to look as a native application (Kendy)
        + But we don’t have to (Jay)
        + The easiest would be to do a uniform color (Jay)
    + Would be good to add screenshots of some contemporary OS X apps, to mimic the look better 
(Kendy)
        + Will ask Steve (Jay)
        + iWork -
