Hi, Thanks! One thing that confused me was the svg folder location as compared to the png icons. Perhaps they should all stem from the same parent folder?
The Tango docs are useful. One thing I found is that their docs state that the 16px icon should use 1px border lines. What I found is that this translates to 3px at size 48. The magic number is 0.0625 * Size: 48 * 0.0625 = 3 32 * 0.0625 = 2 24 * 0.0625 = 1.5 22 * 0.0625 = 1.375 16 * 0.0625 = 1 David, I will add some place holders for the icon you are working on so you can test them by swaping in yours.
