--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Kind of torn or this. But for Windows builds it *is* premature pending MS
publication of needed C++ API for handling themeing for Windows dark mode as in
bug 118320

Otherwise, confirm the project's Branding with Tango styling of the ODF MIME
types [1] that OS/DE pick up do not have a transparent background. The white
background is not pleasant when OS with a dark themed DE associates our
branding icons with ODF MIME file types. Or if used for the LibreOffice module
launchers. 

Two ways to represent the ODF MIME types.

1) color icon background dynamically in response to theme. 

2) create a light, a dark, and multiple high contrast sets of icons

When put into use, these would effectively replace the Tango themed MIME type
branding--so result would have to remain suitable for Marketing/Branding needs.
