Hi all,
I've been improving (I think!) the inkscape iconset (work in progress). I've resized and simplified some of the icons to make them look better in my Linux distro (Ubuntu 8.10 - haven't tried others).
If the feedback is positive I'll try them in Microsoft Windows to see what I can do! (Sorry! I don't own a Mac)
SVG file - icon.svg - and a screenshot as an attachment.
bye

Thanks for sharing, Plácido! It works well but it may be better for lighter schemes...I've attached my screenshot using the Dust theme in Ubuntu.

Hi,
Thanks.
You're right. After reading this email, I tried this it with ubuntustudio theme which is even darker and it doesn't work as well either. Anyway I will remove transparency from a few icons. Using overall transparenrency is not a good idea.
One way to make it work would be to draw a white shadow around them all (like the lock), but it would make them even smaller. I tried Tango with a very dark theme. I thought it woud look better because it is lighter, but the same problem occurs.

Great. I'm going to start using this straight away. I especially like the clear shapes and colors of #file_import and #file_export. Also the #transform_pattern, #transform_gradient, #transform_corners and #transform_stroke are much clearer than the default ones.
Great work.
