My main reason for liking all monochrome is that the icons always fit
with whatever background colour is chosen - as they can be recoloured.
Another reason for this is that initially I was just manually mapping a
plugin's PNG filename to a material font icon or SVG icon - and some
plugins use the main app icon as an icon for actions. I guess I could
work-around that by detecting if the icon is used on the top-level,
etc.

My initial reaction was because this icon stood out like a sore thumb. I
like consistency - so it should be all monochrome, or all coloured
(where this makes sense)... I am leaning more towards this.

(Must admit I knew this would be a can of worms when I first implemented
the mapping)

Well 'Contacts' etc. from the Android GMail app's menu is monochrome.
But that's beside the point - and there I guess they are more action
than app icons.

IMHO, that "BBC" squares would be too small for an icon (they do not
have enough height in a blank square). Plus "BBC Sounds" is written in
text under the icon.
