Re: [libreoffice-users] Changing the LibreOffice icons (Linux)

The Linux icons can be a variety of sizes - Chromium supplies a 64x64 icon
in the xprop reported icon set (or possibly bigger) as well as the two
sizes that LibreOffice shows.

Does Libreoffice actually load its app icons from /usr/share/icons/hicolor?
I've tried replacing those icons with symlinks to my icons (an ugly bodge,
but potentially workable) and rebuilt the icon caches, but nothing seemed
to change so I assumed there was another source that they were read from or
that the icons were built in at compile-time.

Thanks.
