Hi all I tried modifying official hicontrast theme (I choosed default one just because it was in the repos and easy to test ) . Hicontrast is a good basis because It's maybe the more complete theme of all. Here is the result for 5 icons : http://ubuntuone.com/7HLYSzrN8lfimbXLYUiOw5
I used Android Guidelines colors, as adviced by Mirek (I didn't choosed well colored / non colored parts, but it's a first start to see whether it's possible to have something OK based on highcontrast, easily) I tried using little and big icons sizes, they are or too big or too little. Link to high contrast theme : http://ubuntuone.com/4UaF2dRGZS87xL1qMOGlc0 So, how to decide whether we use - or not - monochrom icons ?
