Icons in LO v4.0 user guides

OK, team, now that we're working on LO v4.0 user guides, it's probably
time to make the switch to using the Automatic (Tango) icons in the
books, even though that will mean recapturing some screens that have
not otherwise changed, along with screens that have changed in other
respects. (Many images don't show icons, so won't need to be changed
for that reason.)

We talked about this last year; I don't recall if we made a decision
regarding the v4.0 books. But if we did, and if the decision was to
not change icon sets, I think it's time to reconsider. There won't be
any convenient time to make this switch, so we might as well do it
now, even though it may delay publication. I suspect publication may
be delayed for other reasons as well, so a slight extra delay probably
won't matter.

What do you think? Especially JohnS, PeterS, and DanL, who have been
doing most of the work.

Hello Jean

Not a problem for me.

As the GS chapters are reviewed and commented on, I can easily change the screen shots to show the Tango icons. This is the default icon set when you install LibreOffice on all three operating systems that I am using, so one can assume that users would have the same installation setup. Using Tango icons would make it less confusing for users.

I am using version 4.0 and deleted version 3.xxx of LibreOffice from all my computers except for one. The exception is my Raspberry Pi, which has its own Linux operating system. The version available for installing LibreOffice is 3.6 in the Raspberry Pi software depository. Despite being a baby computer, I have no problems using LibreOffice on a Raspberry Pi. You just have to be patient as it is not as quick as a grown up computer.
