Hi, all.

I was playing around with 'inkscapec.exe' because now I can see several output message that I had not idea. One of those is the following:

(inkscape.exe:3660): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon 'object-visible'. The 'hicolor' theme was not found either, perhaps you need to install it. You can get a copy from: http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases

I know nothing about GTK but, since I am a Windows developer I became curious of how can I change some elements of the Inkscape interface without recompile the software. I did a little search in the Inkscape.org WEB site but I didn't find anything.

Someone could point me to a reference place?

A few quick hints:

we look in the XDG directories for icon files, both individual and combined to a single svg

the preferences dialog has one pane that lists the current XDG based locations

we follow the latest icon theming specs

we have many Windows users, but almost no Windows developers.

drop in to our chat room on IRC/Jabber for more responsive discussion.

Hopefully we can help you get going and happy.
