Split from bug 166588 The image in first tab looks grainy. Would it help to either improve the image if possible or make it a tad smaller in order to reduce level of grain? Or maybe use the new revamped iconset instead which have a more modern look? See attachment 200823 [details] Note from myself: the graininess is the only way to keep the animated GIF's size tolerable. I recommend to just drop the animation, as many have strongly suggested.
+1 for better SVG artwork and drop the animated bitmap.
Image was replaced yesterday with a more crisp version (kudos to Rania). Strong -1 to drop the animation.

The problem is that bad decisions like including an animation in the dialog worsen the reputation of the whole of LibreOffice and everyone who contributes to it. We don't want to be tarred and feathered by users due to decisions like this, so expect heavy pushback.

This is _user-losing_ behavior, it's like having the dialog say "We hate you, and want to cause you pain. Don't use our application unless you want to suffer." - and it doesn't matter that's not the case. The user doesn't know that LibreOffice is a sane application that doesn't troll you with animations in the UI. I'm sure there could be some other opportunity to use Rania's animation. Maybe in a video of some kind. But this just can't, can't, _can't_ be in any LibreOffice dialog. I cannot stress that enough.
