 * Mac version with single color (Jay)

* All icon themes look clearer on a plain white/light background similar to LibreOffice Vanilla https://www.collaboraoffice.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/libreoffice-vanilla-1-1024x640.png http://i.imgur.com/57IpwOI.png http://standardsandfreedom.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/macOS-native-toolbar.jpg-1024x640.png

+ The reason for the white is technical - cannot use the API in the sandboxed app (Kendy) + Actually in the newer macOS, the look changed, but LibreOffice still uses the old look (Jay)

+ We try to look as a native application (Kendy) + But we don’t have to (Jay) + The easiest would be to do a uniform color (Jay) + Would be good to add screenshots of some contemporary macOS apps, to mimic the look better (Kendy) + Will ask Steve (Jay) + iWork - http://notebooks.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/pages-tool-tips.jpg / http://tidbits.com/resources/2014-10/iwork-mac-toolbars.png / https://i.ytimg.com/vi/U3p_cTb0d80/maxresdefault.jpg + WPD Reader - http://a5.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Purple2/v4/a2/a0/b5/a2a0b5fa-10b8-479e-54b3-498543a7df88/screen800x500.jpeg
