           Summary: Making Icon Themes is Far too Difficult
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: libreoffice
        AssignedTo: ooo-build-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: rugby471 at gmail.com


The way that LibreOffice packages its icon themes if far too complex and
difficult and therefore stifles creativity when it comes to creating new icon
themes.

Icon are given cryptic names such as envvl_l.png in cryptic directories such as
sw/res and therefore an artist has to spend more time working out where an icon
should go, rather than creating a theme.

I propose that a readable naming scheme should be put in place that fixes this,
maybe something similar to what GTK uses at the moment?

As well as this, only icon should be distributed in a theme package, not
unnecessary files such as go-oo-team.png :) These should be packaged with
LibreOffice, not in the icon theme package.

Thanks :)
