For me it’s going to be more about theme itself than about icons. I can live with 2.5 version as wel 
Only some of them can be easier shaped and for some long lists I dont need them.
Few screens based on Graph theme.
TopBar Tab color is not editable for the moment, right?
Is it possible to change color that separates editors?
Thanks for tip.
One probably too much grey.
Hi! You can change the tabs colours from here:
while the editors outlines are here:
You did a great work with those icons anyway!
I think the white version is the most readable overall, but the result with this bluish theme is interesting.
Oh, man thanks a lot. I tried to change it under Top Bar, that is not working. Why it’s under general setup? Uh 
Editor’s outline - yeah these I could discover.
Awesome
Blue icons - the thing is, white icons are hard to recognize on heavy used screen filled by white or grey text and numbers, arrows and what ever elements. So original jendrzych icons (even they seems to me too much realistic) are better discoverable on my screen. Some color helps so much. And it can be any color. As you can see under link Classic in my first post. From delopers side, they are thinking about giving the acces from user prefer to colorize icons that jendrzych is working on.
Hi @vklidu! Any chance you share svg with icons? Wanna try to build 2.79 with it 
No problem to share. Just a few things better to note (if you missed them):
I’m not satisfied with some of the icons, but I’m not going to work on all of them for now.
Probably good to say - I’m not competiting with jendrzych’s work for the new 2.8 icons.
I did them to prove the concept, mostly
Edit: SVG file deleted - Outdated
Thanks for sharing! Yep, it missing all the modifiers icons… Anyway give it a chance!
Yes - just a test of concept
At the moment you can try also new jendrzych’s icons.
He just released first version of SVG icons for 2.8 on the same grid as 2.79 (to test), for now also without modifiers.
I’m not sure if I need icons on a huge lists like modifier list is.
I don’t remember if I scanned the list by icons ever or if I use just a text to find modifier.
With modifier list system (icons everywhere) they should be on many other places. At the end, they do it hard to read (maybe). Probably better could be use icons on ui elements where text is not wanted or to use for visual attraction of some parts on a list, but seems to me contraproductive to use icons on extended lists.
Already posted simple examle

Sorry, never happened to me. Shared file use dark grey rectangle as background, that should be disabled or deleted before generating icons.
Your result is white, so If you didn’t change bg rectangle color to a white I don’t have a clue, what could cause the result like that.
Try to open and save SVG via app Inkscape.
(Maybe some OS disharmony )
It’s nice work, but I think I like the colorful ones better. They’re easier to distinguish quickly - by their color.
I got the same feeling, but now I’m levitating in this pool
You know, personal project. I want to satisfy just my self
But probably you can help me understand to it.
What colours (or icons) exactly you can describe as something that helps you distinguish icons on a screen?
One aspect that helped me to see them on screen is to give them different colour from text.
Second thing that I’m able to describe is “orange” for objects icons and red-white for icons related to material or texture, violet-pink to images.
And thats all. Other icons don’t use so dominant color that I can describe (maybe folder - light brown) or they are not so close to others so I don’t think its harder to recognise them.
Blue color for modifiers is irrelevant - Modifiers are listed on separate list, and they are not mixed with others. So I can’t say colour matters in this case.
Yeah and of course blue for world icon for sure.
I’m somehow biased, but wouldn’t overestimate the part of colour in icon design. People get confused in first contact, because GUI with monochrome icons look so different from what they’re used to. I’ll emphasize with all my strength, that lack of colour isn’t a problem - real trouble starts when icons shapes and their accents are similar to each other too much. This very topic was belabored many times and all I can advise is: use to get used to.
Take the properties panel’s tabs for example. My eyes first see that the Object icon is yellowish, and the Modifiers icon is elongated and bluish, before i see their shape. The texture icon is squarish and reddish, the material tab round and reddish, and the environment tabs is round and bluish. I see that before I consciously see what the icons are, mostly because I’ve looked at these for many years. I’d probably get used to your set over time, but I wouldn’t want to have to.
Properties header is very specific for this. Yes. Is there any other place that you can mark?
Have you seen my post from May 2?
Does it can be something you can say it could solve the problem in similar way? It’s very dirt sketch …
With all politeness to the master, I can’t agree. From what you are saying, we can use traffic lights with the same color and make difference only by shape.
Try to replace red, orange, green with white square, triangle and circle. Do you want to say - you are able distinguish shapes as fast as colors from far?
I really like your work and from what I did, you can see I love monoicons, but it doesn’t seem to be fair now. Sorry.
From what you are saying, we can use traffic lights with the same color and make difference only by shape.
That’s exactly what I’m trying to say. Ingenuity of traffic lights design lies in the fact, that You can use them with full colourblindness. Red light is always on top, green at the bottom and yellow in the middle. Red and green never lights at the same time. Yellow always lights with only one of remaining lamps at a time, and is turned off immediately with the one it was accompanying; then the one that was dimmed turns on, so one can judge at a glance which light will be next (red or green / upper or lower). Blinking single yellow lamp (the middle one) means, that traffic lights are inactive and one should be careful and focus on traffic signs or use general traffic rules.
Our eyes can see colours only in tiny part of their view fleld, the rest of the field is monochrome. Impression of colourful environment comes from eyeballs movements and brain rendering. Try to look at traffic lights the way all lamps are in Your periferial part of field view. Keep Your eyes still and wait for light change. Will You really see the colour of lamp turning on, or You’ll just know what it should be? Brain cheats You all the time.
Red / yellow colours of traffic lights really helps to see lights from distance and to make decisions at reflex level, but that doesn’t apply to icons, to be honest.
What I definitely didn’t say is: colours are unnecessary. It’s just another layer of information, that can help in some parts of GUI and is superfluous in others. Lists of different items, such as Outliner or File Browser, are different worlds from bunches of few local icons. Colours can help there a lot, but I still believe that good design can work without much use of colours.
1st paragraph
Nice inside view to functionality of traffic lights, but its not an answer to my question - can you distinguish icons faster with different colors or with a same color. What you answered is we can recognize shapes.
2nd
SInce I observe monitor from front view, periferial observation doesn’t seems to me relevant.
BTW Today I tried to watch forward and I saw clear orange on lights (periferial) when lights up, but as you said - my brain is cheating with me, so thats what I think I saw
3rd
That’s the whole point. I can agree - colour is a layer that helps. And thats what I was talking about. Colour helps you much quicker scan a screen.
Just to refresh air in a room and finish this match …
I played a bit with colors on monochrome icons and there is a few things to note:
But I’m not saying - 2.5 icons doesn’t benefit from colors they use.
(Would be nice to see them without “greying”.)
