In my opinion, dark, sober and sharp monochrome icons qualify with this requirement. Thus, I feel, that the icons must be of monochrome nature. In terms of design, I like the icons which Google Docs ( http://www.ezoubi.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/new_old_look_icons_google_docs.png) use, and am thinking on that lines. Also the basic icons visible in the this Citrus Mockup ( http://cdn.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/find1.png) look clean to me. Again, this is a personal view and choice may vary from person to person. In terms of implementation, i believe that it would be a save of time and effort if we begin with using an existing theme. I am not sure if we have a tool which could apply some property (say something like a monochrome layer over the icon) across an entire icon set, and I will do some research into this. If we do manage to get this as a script, we could run it to create mono-chrome versions of a few icon-themes like tango, and then see the result and choose and modify accordingly. (The script idea may be a bit naive and I am not sure of the intricacies involved, but I am willing to work for this if I get a positive response). -- Bhaavan Merchant -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
