Where to find the new Microsoft's mso icons

I just found out that with one of the last Office update, Microsoft's icons have been reworked, they have got new skins and all for Office 32bits.

This means some of the Mso icons are no longer available or have their identifier changed, and are displayed like so in add-ins:
Broken Mso

I'm trying to adapt an Excel add-in in order to replace the broken Msos to keep a decent visual between the old and new versions.

It means I have to handle this kind of thing for each single given Mso identifier:
Old version -> Old version
New version -> New version

There were documents for Office in order to find Msos and their respective Id here, but I can't find any equivalent for the new ones.
I've seen the list of identifiers, but nothing that actually let me see the icon and its Mso identifier.
Is there anything that could help with that?

Solution

  • You can get the Office 2010 icon names and images from the word file downloadable here.

    These mso_ labels work in VS ribbons even if the user has the new version of office. Although the icons themselves have changed, in my experience they look similar enough to work in most cases.
