--- Comment #10 from [email protected] ---
I recently faced the same issue as "Benjamin" from Eyals very first comment and
thought LibreOffice might have a bug, which is how I ended up here.

What I was wondering is why only the dark themed icons have an additional
description in their name, which the light themed once seem to lack. One
example would be the icon theme "Sifr" where the dark themed variant is called
"Skir (dark)" whereas the light one is called "Sifr". This makes it seem to the
inexperienced user, such as myself, as if "Skir" was the default and therefor
correct variant of the icon theme. Please excuse that for this example I
dismissed the existence of "Sifr (SVG)" and "Sifr (SVG + dark)"

I think a more sensible naming convention regarding the above example would be
to call the icons themes "Sifr (light)" and "Sifr (dark)". This would make it
clear to the user that the former theme is to be used with the light and the
latter with the dark mode. Unless of course the user assumes "Sifr (light)"
means that it's displayed using "light" colours 😅.

This would also give us a chance to introduce a new variant of the icon theme
called "Sifr (automatic)". The goal of this theme would be to automatically
decide the correct variant of theme for the user. While this wouldn't really
eliminate "Benjamins" problem, it would make it a tiny bit easier to switch
between themes.

If however, a user chose a more specific icon theme, like "Sfir (dark)" or
"Sfir (SVG), I think it would be better to inform the user that there might be
too low contrast and that it would be better if he adjusted the icon theme.

I think those two options of introducing a new variant of the icon themes and
informing the user of the low contrast could be split into two separate
features as the former might be a bit easier to implement.

I would be more than happy to try and implement the first feature, but seeing
as this would be my first time working on this project I'd probably need some
pointers of someone who is a bit more familiar with the code base.

I'm also curious to hear what you think of my idea. I do ask you to show some
compassion though, as this is my very first comment on this forum.
