Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Release 4.2 icon set
Personal opinion: Having seen the new icon set (Sifr), I do not see that it is a beautiful non-distracting icons set. Maybe I just plain like Galaxy. Maybe I don't like the idea of changing the icon set that is used. Maybe I do not understand what the icons are suppose to be and represent. I do know that it would take some time just to learn what icon I need to click to do what I want. If someone has mentioned why a change is needed, I do not remember what that was. Is it a case of every software has change their icon set to something new and we are one of the last to make the change? --Dan On 12/03/2013 03:24 PM, John Smith wrote: Hi Martin Thanks, I had seen this entry, but note that in 4.2Beta1, Tango(Automatic) is still the default installation icon set.

As for the icon set, yes it probably is time to make the change from Galaxy to Tango, unless someone knows a good reason why we should not. (A good reason being something like: the hypothetical situation of the Design Team seriously considering changing to yet another icon set. Note: I have no idea if that is under consideration; I haven't been following design discussions.

[libreoffice-documentation] Release 4.2 icon set
Jean, Just had a thought on this subject. Are we staying with Galaxy, which I see is no longer listed as Galaxy(default), or are we going with Tango? I know we had this discussion earlier this year, but is it now time to bite the bullet? On another point, is the template being changed from the LO3.4 template?.
