Hy Heiko, As I sayed, I changed my mind while color coding the icons, I don't think any more it's such useful (also, if someone really think it's an important thing, only user testing can help us).
Anyway, I think having more than one color in the icon palette is important, monochrome would be wrong : LibO is a software with A LOT of icons, and colors (no mater which ones) will help differentiate each of them. It's not like a file explorer toolbar, with few icons, where it's easily possible to choose monochrome. There are plenty of icons (useful or not, it's another subject). So I'm really sure we should use colors. I also think few icons could be color coded, as insert table in writer should be green (the traditional color of tables (excel, calcs etc), but that's a detail. Then, about the icon guidelines, As I sayed to Mirek, we shouldn't choose if we use Gnome ones, Elementary ones, Ubuntu Ones etc, but let users choose that by a survey. Because if surveys are useless for ergonomy (user always choosing , for pure design it helps to know what final user find sexy or not. I would like to have Bjoern thoughts on this, so I CC him.
