Hello All,
I'm now well versed in how to implement new icons in Inkscape. If you design icons and would like to help develop an excellent icon theme for Inkscape, then either A.) jump on chat and I can show you how to edit icons, and/or B.) Make your icons and forward them to me and I will implement them.
There are plenty of icons left to designed.
Don't forget that artists are developers as well...
I'm moving all icons in the application to icons.svg which is by default at: /usr/local/lib/inkscape/icons/icons.svg
If you open that file up and copy how those were laid out, and then name the group of the file icon uniquely, that is the best way to understand how to add/edit icons. Forward me any changes and I'll add them into the app.

Hi Jon: I agree the svg format is the best, but I don't think the most comfortable method is having a unique file icons.svg with icons inside. -If the file breaks, the whole interface is broken. -the relation between the icon and the name of the icon is not direct, you must open icons.svg in inkscape, click the icon, maybe first ungroup it, and also open the xml editor. If you now the name is hard to find the icon, and if you got an icon and want to find a name is hard too. I think it's easier to make skins with masks for xmms. -Inkscape is the only application to use the only-one-file method, except windows moreicons.dll. If we want to use the icons in Scribus and The Gimp it will be quite hard to export all of them and also keep two versions synchronised: pngs/svgs/only-one-file-svg On the other hand is more likely that many more apps, including The Gimp (GTK libraries) and Scribus (Qt libraries) will support and already support svg graphics for their interfaces, but all of them in the same file.
Is there any good reason to use a one-file-svg to store Inkscape icons?
What about different svg icons with different names? tool-freehand-pencil.svg.

Wouldn't it just be much easier to use a directory to hold the icons?
In fact, there should be a logical structure: /image /themes /default /big /HighContrast The images should be placed inside directories. /default freehand-tool.svg export-svg spiral.svg
My question is, does Inkscape support single svg icons as in my example? If so, how hard could it be to code an option to make bigger or smaller a toolbar on-the-fly? (I guess inkscape could do this kind of stuff with "svg" pretty well)
Yours: Nestor
