Because platform integration means LO should act like other native applications of that platform (as much as possible and reasonable). If e.g. KDE popups act in a certain way, then KDE user will certainly prefer if LO popups acted the same way, and if Windows 8 decides that all icons should be pink on green, then probably LO on W8 should paint icons that way too. -- Lubos Lunak l.lu...@suse.cz _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
