There is no Windows-appropriate icon theme available for LO since 4.2.1. The only available options include 2 butt-ugly KDE themes and 1 Gnome theme.
actually available themes in 4.2.x are: - Tango - Galaxy - Crystal - Hi Contrast - Oxygen - Sifr apart from Sifr that was introduced in 4.2.x all the other themes were already present in previous releases and were inherited from OOo, so what's exactly the problem with 4.2.1? in the past the Classic theme was also available and it was based on Win98 icons. it has been removed but you can enable it again manually, see Bug 38175
There is no Galaxy theme anymore.
I run the portable LibO 4.2.1 release from winPenPack under Win7x64 ( http://www.winpenpack.com/main/download.php?view.1354 ) and Galaxy is available under theme configuration options.
Do not be silly. What does "proper" mean according to you? There was never a theme resembling XP/Vista icons in Star/Open/LibreOffice, if that is what you mean with "proper". Thus, this is NOT a regression in 4.2.1.
@Adolfo the regression he was talking about is the loss of Galaxy theme in 4.2.1, which however I do not confirm since I see it on my PC. reading his comment it seems that he only sees 3 themes in his installation ( comment 0 ), while I see that there are 6 themes like in previous releases.
Once again: Gnome/KDE icon sets do not belong on Windows platform.
@Urmas: You probably mean master (not 4.2), where I indeed can't see the Galaxy theme. If that's the case, please update the version field.
in master 4.3 available themes are: - Tango - Tango_testing - Crystal - Hi Contrast - Oxygen - Sifr so, it looks like Galaxy has been removed from 4.3.x anyway it seems that Urmas was talking of a 4.2.1 release with just 3 themes available... which is not the case with 4.3.x which has 5 themes and 1 variant of one of them unless this has been definitively cleared I set status to NEEDINFO
> so, it looks like Galaxy has been removed from 4.3.x Can you please inform yourselves and take a look at the git repository before stating that? For you: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/icon-themes/galaxy Nobody can reproduce missing icon themes in 4.2, WFM
calm down Adolfo... I was talking about 4.3.x master where the Galaxy is not present, while the current report is about 4.2.x so we asked Urmas to specify which version he's talking about... maybe he erroneously indicated 4.2.x
I can confirm, that "Galaxy" is missing from the list in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > View. It is missing in Version: 4.2.2.1 Build-ID: 3be8cda0bddd8e430d8cda1ebfd581265cca5a0f and in Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: f839b5dd16c05c0eda21345ec36ec0cb024eb732 TinderBox: Win-x86@47-TDF, Branch:MASTER, Time: 2014-02-23_09:54:38 both on Windows 7. The icons are still in share/config/images.zip, but not listed. If you change the file name to images_galaxy.zip, then they are listed, and can be chosen. The error seems to be, that the icon-set with only "images" as name is no longer handled as "automatic" or "default".

Why the theme "Galaxy" is not present in 4.3 ? Is it a mistake ?
(In reply to comment #14) > Why the theme "Galaxy" is not present in 4.3 ? > Is it a mistake ? Please not change the choices in the drop-down lists. I restore initial values (OS & Version)

You can workaround it, when you copy the lc_navigateback.png to lc_scrolltoprevious.png, sc_navigateback.png to sc_scrolltoprevious.png, lc_navigateforward.png to lc_scrolltonext.png, and sc_navigateforward.png to sc_scrolltonext.png. Those icons, which belong to an uno command are located in folder cmd and follow the pattern lc_commandnameinlowercase. A new command .uno:MyNewTask will find an icon named lc_mynewtask, for example. Nevertheless, it is a bug, that the Galaxy theme does not work out-of-the-box.
Or copy the file links.txt from images_sifr to images_galaxy, then you need not copy the images themself.
Hi Bug still occurs on windows 7/64 & Version: 4.3.0.1 Build ID: 67f5430184326974072b65403ef1d9d934fc4481 I added the keyword Regression Regards Pierre-Yves
On Widnows 7 sp1, 64-bit en-US with Version: 4.3.0.2 Build ID: 14ed55896fdfcb93ff437b85c4f3e1923d2b1409 Following installation Galaxy icon set are built, but they is not being exposed from the Tools -> Options -> View Icon Size and Style drop down. The icons are packaged with the install to: C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4\share\config\images.zip And, it seems to work correctly if that zipped archive is renamed images_galaxy.zip as suggested. But the install packaging should take care of this. Unclear if the "links.txt" needs to still be adjusted as in comment 18 Nominating to MAB 4.3
The code does: // Set known icon themes OUString sAutoStr( m_pIconStyleLB->GetEntry( 0 ) ); m_pIconStyleLB->Clear(); StyleSettings aStyleSettings = Application::GetSettings().GetStyleSettings(); mInstalledIconThemes = aStyleSettings.GetInstalledIconThemes(); in cui/source/options/optgdlg.cxx I suspect we just don't detect that Galaxy is installed for some reason (prolly the naming issue below) in GetInstalledIconThemes =)
I guess a side-effect of Thomas' nice work here: commit 076a7eacca48f203f0a8b9aa537e88fea9a88409 Author: Tobias Lippert <drtl@fastmail.fm> Date: Sun Feb 9 00:53:28 2014 +0100 Bug #63962 Dynamically scan the config directory for icon themes The hard-coded icon themes have been replaced by a dynamic list which is filled by scanning the config directory
That looks to be the issue. Tobias says as much in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63962#c10
