On the icon side there a few notable changes: there’s a new icon for the screenshot button in the Quick Settings menu (a reaction to GNOME developers updating theirs) and rather than showing LibreOffice’s (really rather brill) new app icons, Ubuntu’s design team has replaced them with an updated set of custom ones.
