The thing is that the GTK+ icon cache are just prerendered icons (created with a standalone application). In Sugar however, we need a more complicated mechanism as the colour of the icons is changed on the fly. One would probably need to implement a custom icon cache, that prerenders the most often needed colour combinations. Benjamin
