For reasons related to the second part of this, I noticed this too.  I
thought it was both odd and annoying because...

(Part 2)

I really detest the new LO icon scheme.  The program icons (for
launchers, etc) are flat and boring, although at least they are now in
different colors, which is not quite as boring as the graphics
themselves.  What I find more annoying is that the icons for the
buttons inside Writer, Calc and so on are not only flatter and more
boring than their predecessors, they are LARGER, which not only cuts
down on the amount of screen left over for the document(s)
itself(themselves), it also reduces the number of buttons that can
appear on each toolbar line, thus completely obscuring many features
that are on the right ends of those toolbars, some to the point of not
working right at all.

For example, the font color control button is now off the right end of
the main toolbar, and that prevents its down-arrow function (open the
color palette to select the deisred color) from operating at all - it
only sets the selected text to the current default color, which is,
essentially, useless.

Can we please have the nice, smaller icons that were in OOo 3.2.1 (or
something like them and smaller than the current icons) back?

(So how did I notice that the OOo icons had been supplanted by the LO
icons?  I opened an OOo window to see the old icons that I liked
before, but they were gone....)
