New Ubuntu 16.04.2 installation. Uninstalled the default libreoffice installation. Then I installed libreoffice 5.4.0.3 from this PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa

Now all icons are missing from toolbars:

libreoffice calc toolbar

Is this a bug or a funk setting? Any thoughts on how to reset the toolbar to get the typical configuration? I already tried the basic stuff (rebooting, disable/enable toolbars, etc.)

  • Just adding the PPA and update/upgrade would be sufficient. No need to unistall and I'm afraid you may have uninstalled something you shouldn't. And no, I don't know how to solve it and it may well be off topic.

  • Although your advice might be accurate, I've always uninstalled first and have never seen this behavior. Could just be a bum install. Thank you for reply.

  • I am also facing the same problem. Libreoffice was upgraded to version 5.4.0.3 through the "software update" process automatically in first week of August.

  • with me this is due to the custom dark mode and libre-office trying to be clever adding light icons on light background ...

I have the same problem. I solved this in this way

1) install other style: in my case sudo apt-get install libreoffice-style-human

2) change the style configuration: Tools > Options > LibreOffice > View

In my case I've updated with this ppa too, and broke in the same way. I suppose that I have one incompatibility with the Libreoffice-style-mint or something like this.

Good luck!!

The problem is selecting large icon size. Change it auto. My icons came back.

  • Hello and welcome to AU. I do not see any difference between your answer and the first one. In such a case, it is better to upvote the answer than to add another one. This increases the visibility of the selected answer without addind clutter in the site.

  • @MarcVanhoomissen this is the only answer that mentions icon size though. I think you didn't read closely enough
