However the Apache one only build on top of Oracle. So far the brand refresh from Oracle included: - Application icons (OOo and components) - Mime-Type icons (Unified ODF document icons) - Tool icons (Used on the Galaxy theme) AFAIK the Galaxy theme are still used under AOO and LibO for that matter. OOo iconset is pretty large, and its task is a bit heavy to just implement a new ones (IMO).
