Bug Description
I've installed Linux Mint 18 with KDE-5 and I saw new icons there.
At first I thought they are nice, very slick and elegant design.
But after one workday with these icons I realized they are driving me mad.
I don't know if the KDE guys made them (because I also saw similar style in Synaptic icons, and I have same concerns about them (I generally really like KDE 5 so far).
This new icon set breaks compatibility with general standards among all graphical programs I know (closed- and open-source). Why is the Color Picker looking like Blur Tool in GIMP?
Why the path corner and end options are subtly different? I can hardly see differences between them, also why such a weird double edged-paths? Same with the spiral icon - why double-edged?
The layer stack icons - why the "show/hide" icon is not an eye symbol?
I'm trying to get the old icons there, because I don't want to learn this weird anti-standard symbol set just to have cool aesthetics. Productivity is more important to me.
Sorry if I'm reaching out to wrong people, but then - who should I reach to?

Hi,
This is not dependent on inkscape but on kde, and more specifically on the "Breeze" kde (default) theme
Normally (I don't have kde, i cannot check); you can change in "system settings" -> "GNOME/GTK applications widget style" and go from Breeze to Gnome.
