Comment 2 for bug 344941

I think adding a configuration option for this would be unnecessary since users already have control over their icon theme and the icons in them, but taking advantage of the flexibility of SVGs to automatically use theme colors would be pretty awesome.

This seems like the next step from the color-themed icon sets like gnome-colors; just have the icons themselves use the theme colors.

Implementation-wise I am not sure how this would work, since I don't think SVG supports theme color references (although it might). You could copy the icon to gnome-do-themed or something and make sure the colors in that SVG match the theme colors, on startup, or via a theme hook.
