According to a WEB UPD8 post from july 2011, it is possible to install Faenza-styled icons on LibreOffice toolbar.

I can't install Faenza the traditional way on LO 3.5 (i.e., changing the toolbar icons from Crystal or Tango from inside the application's "Options" menu) and now those icons are broken.

Faenza was already installed but the update removed everything.

Update manager, today updated LO to 3.5 also here (Ubuntu 11.04). As I was using same icon theme I noticed same issue.

Just copying faenza archive over /usr/share/libreoffice/share/config/images_crystal.zip was not enough. Comparing icon theme archives from LO 3.5 with faenza set, revealed two possible misplacements:

res/commanimagelist -> cmd
vlc/source/src      -> vlc/res

I expect that first one was responsible for this issues, although I changed both: download link (3.6 MB)

So after downloading this archive place it as /usr/share/libreoffice/share/config/images_crystal.zip and then setting view to crystal should show faenza icons again :)

This doesn't bring back Faenza icons to LibreOffice (if they had been there), but this should fix its icons:

You could try to (re)install the usual icon theme libreoffice-style-humanInstall libreoffice-style-human (click this link to do so) and choose it in Settings as follows:

Start LibreOffice and open the appropriate settings Dialog:

start lo

open options

Choose the correct icon theme:

options

Does this help?

  • I have it this way but now I want to install faenza – Manck Feb 29 '12 at 20:41
  • AFAIK there are no Faenza icons for LibreOffice - so I wonder how you installed them for LibreOffice 3.4 as you mentioned in your question? – Jakob Feb 29 '12 at 20:46
  • Something like this http://www.webupd8.org/2011/07/faenza-icons-for-libreoffice-toolbar.html the floder was different but it worked. – Manck Feb 29 '12 at 20:58
  • So you should find out where the icons are stored, i.e. `locate images_human.zip` if you installed `libreoffice-style-human`. Then you should install a second icon theme you don't want to use, i.e. `libreoffice-style-crystal`. You should go to the icon folder (start Nautilus as sudo: `sudo nautilus`), backup the crystal icon theme, i.e. rename it to *images_crystal.orig.zip*, move the zip-file [downloaded here](http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=143474) to this forlder and name it *images_crystal.zip*. Then choose *Crystal* in LibreOffice. Don't know if this works in 3.5, though. – Jakob Feb 29 '12 at 21:14

    *What's* the problem? If you don't describe **exactly** what doesn't work it's relatively difficult to help you. What did you try? – Jakob Feb 29 '12 at 23:12
  • @Jakob: Obviously problem is that procedure you described is relevant for 3.4 and it worked for `user46035` when he had 3.4 With 3.5 it doesn't work any more for him/her. Does it work for you? Can you use Faenza set in 3.5? – zetah Mar 02 '12 at 09:18
  • @user46035: You may ask your question at Andrew's blog. I'm sure you'll get reply if Andrew knows. I don't have 3.5 to try to help – zetah Mar 02 '12 at 09:20
