LibreOffice 7 and the Tango Icon set

LibreOffice 7.0.0 has removed the Tango icon set, i.e., the default icon set for the toolbars in the past. Tango icons were from a project with an interesting history. These icons are still available as an extension (referense 2) you can go install. I really wanted these icons back, so I adapted the deprecated Debian packaging (reference 4) information to build a package for myself. It is now hosted in my OBS repository for Devuan Ceres: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:bgstack15/libreoffice-tango- iconset With current default icons: LibreOffice 7.0.0 Writer with Colibre
(default) icons With the classic icons: LibreOffice 7.0.0 Writer
with Tango icons To choose which icon style to use, select menu Tools - > Options.... Navigate in the tree to LibreOffice -> View. Select "Icon Style" drop-down and select the value you want.
