Okay, I figured out the problem. Here is the info for the monitor in question:
screen #0: dimensions: 1920x1080 pixels (351x191 millimeters) resolution: 139x144 dots per inch According to X the monitor has 144 DPIY. This is the minimum value which triggers HiDPI support in LibreOffice: (144 + 48 == 192) http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?h=libreoffice-4-2&id=52cb1085edc66995393d5be5a55cb45b73a95292 There are at least two fixes: 1. Bump up the minimum value from 144 DPI (or only kick in if both X and Y are 144, etc.) 2. Port over this fix from master: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=9f308fbc02439e25f8932314a9374c205ebdbc4c It is also possible to use a better API for DPI such as xrandr that might give better information.

I've tried changing the settings in libreoffice between different libreoffice themes and size and the icon appearance does not change.
