Vaguely related, I'd personally like the onus of providing high

allowed to install icons into the hicolor theme; if we're really
taking
accessibility seriously, I believe the high contrast themes
should have
a similar status to hicolor.
Yeah. If an application calls itself "accessible", having high
contrast
icons could be one of the requirements. Distributing the icons in the
apps themselves sounds like a way to avoid lagging the high contrast
theme behind the desktop.
Agreed. If we want to take action on this though, we'll need to
disperse
the icon theme out to all the individual projects and incorporate them
into their build and install procedures. We would also have to make
sure
all new projects include a high contrast icon.
We'd have to take it freedesktop.org first I'd imagine; it's the sort
of thing you'd want written into the icon theming spec to ensure KDE
etc. were using the same theme names.
Cheeri,
Calum.
