Re: How do I specify a non-filled SVG path

OK I worked it out. One needs to draw two paths, an outer and an inner. Then open the SVG file in a text editor and remove everything except the actual path instructions. This includes removing "fill" and "stroke" attributes too. The paste the remaining path into the "icon path" of the widget.
