Hi Ted
...erm, or just set the stroke/fill color? This isn't Inkscape 0.47
feature tour ;)

What the important part here is that the color isn't defined in the
icon itself, it's up to the widget theme to define in all sorts of
different contexts like we have it for text. Eg. panel, menu, toolbar,
when it's hovered over, disabled, that sort of thing.

I would really want to keep this simple and monochrome (within one
icon). As Rodney said, if we needed the complexity we could just stick
to the generic theme. If we'd need a dramatic red color, we can color
the whole thing/background. And it would probably simplify the
implementation of the widget colors<>icon bridge.
