Right, so in the end i decided to use the Faenza icon theme as a base
(with a few additions of my own). This theme contains mostly
monochrome icons for toolbar actions. It looks good on mac and should
do on ubuntu too - in fact many people are using Faenza already as
their theme.

So here's a screenshot:

To get this to work I also had to make a few changes to the code, so
getting this isn't just a question of copy-pasting folders. I changed
a bunch of image names to better match gnome/freedesktop conventions,
which should make swapping icons easier in the future.
