Cannot change Icon Style

The LibreOffice icon style is Sifr. When I select another one and click Apply, it returns to Sifr. What's wrong?

Also, one thing I miss from OpenOffice is that it had a nice high contrast icon theme. I wish they had something similar in LibreOffice...

Hi emril,

The LibreOffice icon style is Sifr. When I  select another one and click
Apply, it returns to Sifr. What's wrong?

I could choose between different iconstyles:
Breeze, Colibre, Elementary, Karasa Jaga, Sifr and Sukapura.
Which LO-version on wich system do you use?

I have installed many different LO-version, looked for the icons in LO
7.2.3.2 on OpenSUSE 15.2 64bit rpm Linux.

Also, one thing I miss from OpenOffice is that it had a nice high
contrast icon theme. I wish they had something similar in LibreOffice...

Don't know anything about icon themes of OpenOffice, but the themes
above will also show high contrast versions.
You could also find themes on
https://extensions.libreoffice.org/?q=icons

The WDM delivering a HC theme will always result in LO using the Sifr icon theme--that is hard coded and triggered by the HC mode.

Take windows out of it HC mode and you can change to other icon themes in LibreOffice.

What is WDM?
If I get off HC, change the LO icon theme, and then go back to HC, will LO keep the new icon theme?

Before switching to LO I had OpenOffice. The great advantage for me of LO was that it can open WordPerfect files I have from my school days some 20 years ago. The great advantage of Open Office is that it has an excellent HC icon theme that I greatly miss.

From what Stuart wrote, I am afraid that my problem is with Windows High Contrast. Well, at least when I hover over an icon I can read its description...
  Thanks to both,

PS. Why I did not receive my own (first) post on this list?
