IIRC, currently there are 32, 64, 128 and 256 bit icon sets. So exactly
which are you suggesting be used -- and where -- on the UI? You need to
flesh out the suggestion.

I'm suggesting libreoffice use its large set, which i'd assuming is 32.

Personally, I am not a fan of over sized ICONs, although they are a
necessity when supporting HDPI monitors--but that is a different issue.

Please, no. I already hated the change in OS X, where it doesn’t fit at all.

I personally am happy with small icons, but this bug is about what's best for
regular/new users, and of course those who like small have the option to change
it to small icons in the options dialog. As most users never change the default
settings, its always best to have the most optimal choice already set out for
them.

If our icon metaphors suck, large icons won’t help.

I think libreoffice's Sifr icons have a good icon metaphor if they were set by
default, but unfortunately they arent. By default, libreoffice uses Tango and
and unfortunately some of these tango icons aren't well designed, which is why
i believe a number of them were changed in 4.3. But whether or not you have a
good icon metaphor, it becomes harder to correctly represent it when you have
to design a small 16x16 icon, so having a larger icon will always help.
