        + sidebar
            + in properties, and also in styles & formatting

        + Should svgs be stored in repo and pngs created at build time (Samuel)
            + Fast svg import hack working (Tomaz)
            + I hacked something similar in the past (Kendy)
                + icons rendered from svg's on LibreOffice startup
                + but had bad results :-(
                    + LibreOffice not rendering in good enough quality...
                + but hopefully Tomaž has better experience / approach (Kendy)
    
        + Icons not appearing in help viewer's web view
          https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82149
            + but fixed now - thanks Stephan! :-)
    
        + Extra-Large (32x32) Icons for large resolutions
            + Status - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mPqD2gGsMkfVCI6ByUd2XYX1NJm26hcGjRVe6gcCSEU/edit?usp=sharing
            + Integrating it into the options dialog - https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95014
                + add a "extra large" entry
            + is this for hi-dpi? (Kendy)
                + no, it is for large screens, but not related to hi-dpi (Jay)
    
        + still something wrong with inheritance (Jay)
            + Samuel will look at one of them
            + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93866
                + easiest solution: eg. for tango, during build concat tango + galaxy links.txt, and
                  put to images_tango.zip
                + one shared links.txt is probably not possible (Jay/Samuel)
