I think you are right. When running Word from the Mac App Store on my machine,
the white areas in the Word app icon change with the system setting.

But even though Word has a Contents/Resources/Asset.car file, it does *not*
have a CFBundleName entry in Contents/Info.plist so I thought maybe Word
doesn't have more than one app icon and macOS is just transforming colors in
the app icon.

So I used the following steps to *only* replace LibreOffice's main.icns file
and it worked:

1. cp /Applications/Microsoft\ Word.app/Contents/Resources/MSWD.icns
./instdir/LibreOfficeDev.app/Contents/Resources/main.icns
2. touch ./instdir/LibreOfficeDev.app
3. open ./instdir/LibreOfficeDev.app

I'll post some screen snapshots but from my above experiment, it appears that
Word does not use the Assets.car file for its app icon. Hopefully that is good
news.

So what I don't understand is why the white background gets changed when using
Word's MSWD.icns but LibreOffice's white background does not change.
Interestingly, NeoOffice's app icon will change with the system settings, but
the transparent areas in its icon are gray when the system settings is
"default".
