Hello, The UI of IBM Lotus Symphony could perhaps be a source of inspiration. Not too far from the actual AOO UI, but with simplified menus and toolbars. Regards G.

FontAwesome requires a paid license to have access to the SVGs so I guess that excludes it. Personally I would avoid using something from Google so my choice would be Remixicon. But I think we need to check which one has the most complete set. Maybe we need a combination of both themes. Grazie mille!
