the testing i'm interested in, is just to see that they don't change their look when used in normal applications or opened in inkscape.
i need this stylesheet thing in plasma as in plsma mobile we are going to have different areas where the icon can be either dark or light in the same application, plus applications that define their own color.
Desktop applications have an old broken way to load icons and there is nothing that can be done, but i don't want to keep being pushed back by that for QML applications that don't have the same limits.
And yeah, would be quite silly to use a patched clone of the breeze icons for plasma mobile, but that's how we need monochrome icons to be done.
