Tom, to be specific, the theme you are referring to is the *desktop* theme, which (as you note) we have tried to specify so screenshots from different operating systems look similar and is something that prints well in black and white. This is not the same thing as the *icon set* or icon "theme" selected in LibreOffice itself. One LO icon set was specified so everyone's screenshots would show the same icons. It is only the icon set that we are considering changing at this time -- nothing to do with the desktop theme. Terminology is too confusing!
