Comment 1 for bug 322806

My opinions on this:
1. A big program like Inkscape will necessarily have a lot of options. If the Preferences pages look cluttered, they should be fixed.
2. Sending statistical information on preference settings looks like an overkill, and some might consider it an invasion of privacy. A more cost effective measure would be to gather opinions on Inkscape-related forums, or have some organized usability testing.
3. This setting would be redundant on Linux, where the icon theme is something system-wide and should not be set from an application. On Windows it's not
4. Adding this feature would prevent simplifying that use an icon; currently standard GTK functions like gtk_image_new_from_icon_name cannot be used.
5. Means to change the default icons wouldn't be necessary if we had good default icons. At this point it is apparent that: a) old icons are somewhat ugly, but users are accustomed to them and they are readable; b) Tango icons are nicer looking, but less readable. If Tango icons could be made more readable, the need to have two icon sets would disappear.
6. Shipping 2 distinct icon sets makes it hard to add new UI features. When you need an icon, you have to draw two of them. We should have only one icon set that looks good and is readable.

I would close this as "Won't Fix", but I'll let others express their opinions.
