This makes more sense. I was doing a historical review of how Start Center
looked in previous versions (OOorg) and had reached that conclusion.

It would be more reasonable theoretically to rethink the design of LibreOffice
backup mimetype, although if you are looking for integration with the base
operating system, use mimetypes design of style icons instead of apps icons (I
do not know if it would be technically possible to use the mimetypes provided
by the operating system/desktop environment Instead).

It sounds good

I understand Although ideally it would be good to plan a discussion at some
point (design team) even if it is not a priority. Thank you.
