The next update I can't tell when, but it's a huge update. I'm eliminating all colors except the main color in all the icons. It's going to take awhile. Why? Because I've improved my Inkscape skill and learned some new tricks.

Here's a screenshot of the differences there going to be. By removing the colors, except the main color of the icon, the background decide which colors the transparencies of the icons shall be replaced by. So if you are using example my translucent GTK theme the wallpaper will color the icons. Well that's the idea behind it.

This is a very useful technique. I have used it as well. Another is a using semi-opacity to shade an area while letting the background shine through. My Empire set does this.
Icon sets are trickier than themes because they are used in greater diversity. I've had to test each set on KDE, XFCE, Gnome, Mate and so on just to ensure consistency. And Nautilus is the only Filemanager that makes that huge glaring border around all icons in the manager... I got rid of that on mine.
Anyway, I remember that the transparency to highlight Icon backfired on certain things- which I started this post to warn you about.
But for the life of me, I cannot remember what it is.
Uh... Test Thoroughly...

At least 1000 icons have been modified today and I'm far from done.
It's like, you start out designing and crating in Gimp and Blender... layering them together and making a final icon...
Then you move to creating Symlinks for all similar applications, instead

A little secret; I don't symlinks. Instead I handcraft each icons, like a Ferrari or Lamborghini do to their cars
