LibreOffice defaults to the Breeze theme in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

I was looking at the new features for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus), which I tend to do before the upgrade process. It stated that "LibreOffice defaults to the Breeze theme in Ubuntu".

What I would like to know is what "Breeze" icon set looks like.

I have tried to find a image of the icon set, but so far, I cannot find it without downloading the icon set.

I am currently using LibreOffice 5.1.1.3 on my Ubuntu 15.10/MATE laptop. Breeze is not in the included themes on the laptop.

So since Ubuntu announced that LibreOffice will default to Breeze, I really would like ot look at the icon set now and not after I upgrade the laptop.

So does anyone know where I could look at the used icon set for LibreOffice?

@Tim,

Its not a theme, rather an icon style.

Should be present on your existing 5.1.1.3 installation.

Tools -> LibreOffice -> View: "Icon style" drop down list

select "Breeze" entry. No need to restart, should apply immediately.

I just tried Breeze and I really do not like it at all. Oxygen and Tango are OK, but not the others in the list. The desktop icons for Breeze looks better, in the images I have seen online. It would have been nice if the internal Breeze icon set, shown in LO, were a good.

Click on this link for the image file that I saw as a Breeze reference, that I copied to one of my domains. - breeze-icons.png <http://libreoffice-na.us/breeze-icons.png>

I wonder why Ubuntu 16.04LTS has opted to use that icon set for LO's default instead of ones that look better - and in color. They have color for the desktop icon set, but no color for the window's icons.

I still have one system running Ubuntu 14.04LTS with MATE desktop, so it would be nice to have 16.04/MATE on it. All of the rest of my systems have 15.10/MATE installed, though I do have one Lubuntu 15.10 install on a really old/slow laptop.
