#361 Use Sifr icon theme for LibreOffice
Closed: Fixed by tpopela. Opened by mxanthropocene.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

Fedora Workstation currently uses the rather outdated-looking Elementary icon theme for LibreOffice, instead of the Sifr icon theme which was designed to fit in with GNOME's icons. The Sifr theme saw a nice update with LibreOffice 7.5, the version being shipped in Fedora Linux 38, which makes the icons fit better with the current GNOME design language.

Also, in Fedora Workstation 38, if you change GNOME to dark mode, LibreOffice's icons change from the colourful Elementary icon set to the monochrome Breeze Dark set, which is a jarring change. The Sifr icons have both a light and dark theme, so it would be much more conistent to use them. It's also worth noting that the Breeze icons were designed for KDE Plasma, not GNOME, so they look even more out of place than the Elementary icons.

TL;DR, we should consider using the Sifr icon set for LibreOffice instead.

@caolanm any comments?

Originally we only had one dark theme so we just fell back to that when dark, now we have a bunch so I've reworked that now upstream and changed the choice of elementary to sifr:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/148611

I've backported that to our F38 and it will be in >= libreoffice-7.5.1.2-3.fc38

Thank you @caolanm !
