Description

Hi.

By adding fill and stroke definition, the icons could be made «QGIS» friendly. It adds possibility to changed both filled and stroke colours.

To proof the concept, a bash script based on 'sed' was created. Two sets of icons was generated – normal and with reverse colour scheme.

Filled icons:

Outlined (reverse) icons:

I hope, somebody will find this useful.

Determine which icon definitions need fill and stroke support and how the normal and reverse colour variants should be represented; done means the icon set supports the requested QGIS colour changes without breaking existing icons.
