Nothing that special, you can see what OOo used previously eg. here:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/artwork/tree/default_images/framework/res?id=54a82864cf74054acdd357eaa4921013a36e9222

Generally, I think we should avoid too much graphics there, as the main
purpose of the high contrast theme is to help people with visual
impairments.

As Michael mentioned in the other mail, the HC graphics is unused in the
libreoffice-3-3 branch (I am sorry, I did not know that), so it seems
the best thing to do is:

- in 3.3, just force black font in the start centre [any volunteer for
this easy hack?], because the start centre is always white there

- in master, do the images part of the high contrast theme, as Michael
suggested, with proper HC graphics

So I'd say - no hurry, we need the images for master, but we'll use a
workaround for 3.3; unless somebody considers this a blocker [hopefully
not].
