Bfffffffff this would be a huge talk, not sure we want to have it... I meen is 
any icon accessible???? 

probably, yes, but wen we have over 2000 action icons in kde any atempt to 
make them simple, monocromatic, accessible, cooerent, undestandable, and 
recognizable will probably fail.... I know no big theme of monocromatic icons 
that achive all of the above requierements. 

The frist thing you should know about icons is that more important than its 
readability, is its reconizability..... the area of your brain that deals with 
recognition is way faster than the reading area. and thats the reason people 
like icons its faster to find an reconizable image that a piece of text.

But this would be a long long long talk.
