Ah, that makes sense. so hopefully light-themes support for that is in the works. I did some more research on symbolic icons and it does look like they should solve a lot of issues with the way icons currently work (for example monochrome themes often end up with white icons on white backgrounds in certain places and vise-versa).
I'm still pretty annoyed about some of the features that are being removed from nautilus, but It does seem to be a true a new file manager isn't really viable at this time.
