Hey guys!
After getting so much positive feedback on the draw tool icons I've created, I set out to redesign some other icons to go with them. The set is far from being complete, but it's a good start, and I still have some leftovers from an older theme I've created, that will allow me to easily go ahead with this theme. I'd be really thrilled if my icons would be included as standard theme.
Point is right now I'm Design Coordinator of ESTIEM ("European Students of Industrial Engineering and Management" an Europe-wide organization with abouts 40000 members -- must have mentioned it before). Their publishing and such has so far not been very professional and having worked in PR and layout since a few years (only voluntarily, though) I'm really glad to be able to provide my fellow Designers with a professional tool, that they can legally get for FREE!
So while Inkscape's functions are fantastic (ok, there are many, many things that have to improve, but still) I never really liked the icons. They are so grey, that only hardcore Gnome people will like them (don't get me wrong, I'm using Gnome myself!).
About the node editing being red (Josh was kinda disturbed by that): I created them to look like the draw icon so that one easily recognizes, what toolbar one is in.
Hope you like them!
