I agree with NAB too; just wanted to highlight Jun’s point that having wildly
different motifs/metaphors across icon themes has implications for
documentation writing; one has to be careful to refer to icons by their
position and not their shape, which may or may not represent a complication. So
let’s be judicious in that aspect, while not erring in the side of monoculture
(which is why I hate things like the stupid, user-hostile “Don’t theme my app”
over at GNOME).

Simply change your icon theme to follow your friends.


In fact, consistency must be maintained within the same icon theme, not between
different themes. Beside that "more options/settings" or such, nowadays has
many appearances. For example browser: Firefox uses three line hamburger,
Chrome uses vertical three dots, Edge uses horizontal three dots, Opera uses
three lines with sliders. Should we shout to them to unify?

I don't see an big issue here. LibreOffice has various icon themes, as long as
you have more than one icon theme, this is an issue about help, documentation,
...

Rizal, Andreas: Should we have the same icon design at all themes for primary
navigation such as the sidebar's context menu? Or rather freedom for the
designers?

I think that's not true.

I'm a Linux user. My friend is a Windows user. When my friend phone called and
asked me about the sidebar, he was very confused by the different icons.

If the file open icon is anything other than a folder, many people will be
confused.

I think the icons should look different, but the motif should be the same.

How is this an Accessibility issue?

Otherwise, selecting different icon theme is a more advanced user
customization. We are not obliged to maintain consistent iconography across
icon themes.

Icon theme designers have chosen three motifs for the 'Sidebar settings' icon: 
a gear, vertical elipsis, or hamburger.

A legitimate concern could be that the online-help and user guides may show one
theme's icon or another, but no real issue.

IMHO NAB and => WF
