Hi there,
a little while ago i started to do some alternative icons for LibreCAD. I stopped before i had all functions covered but i inserted them into the mockup i did back then
https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/issues/320.
The aim was to have simplistic icons that work well for dark and light window themes.

A few days ago i read about the Art Libre icon theme in the works by Barbara Muraus (
http://gnome-stereotype.tumblr.com/post/26134120044/next-stop-art-libre).
The style has some similarities to the icons i did (among others she also restricts herself to only two shades of gray).
Because of this i thought it might make more sens to start all over again with a new theme based on Art Libre. As inkscape and gimp might use these symbols in the future it would surely be nice when using the programs at the same time. In general i think it is important that the libre graphic programs should work together nicely. It would probably be good to make the drawing tools look similar to the "cage" tool from the Art Libre theme (line 3 at column 3).

cheers,
