 GNOME Symbolic Icons
 ====================
 
-Purpose of this icon theme is to extend the base icon theme that follows the Tango style guidelines for specific purposes. This would include OSD messages, panel system/notification area, and one we have close to 100% name spec coverage, the menu icons. 
+Purpose of this icon theme is to extend the base icon theme that follows the Tango style guidelines for specific purposes. This would include OSD messages, panel system/notification area, and possibly menu icons. 
 
 Icons follow the naming specification, but have a -symbolic suffix, so only applications specifically looking up these symbolic icons will render them. If a -symbolic icon is missing, the app will fall back to the regular name.

+HOWTO
+=====
+
+The whole set is maintained in a single SVG, src/gnome-stencils.svg. Each context (apps, actions, mimetypes...) lives inside an Inkscape layer (group). Any group inside that layer is treated as an icon and will be exported into the gnome/scalable/<context>/<inkscape:label>-symbolic.svg of the group. This export is handled by using Inkscape's verbs, which means it will pop up Inkscape GUI at you and will take ages.
