With the exception of the app logo and folder icons, all of Geary's 
icons come from the desktop's currently selected icon theme. I'm pretty 
keen to keep on using the icon theme for application icons, since it 
means that Geary integrates better with people's desktops, the icons 
receive updates without any work on our part, and there's less chance 
the custom icons will clash with some random theme's icons in the 
future.

So there's maybe a few ways of solving this - lodging some bugs against 
which ever icon theme you're using to flag the issues with the theme 
developer - this would also benefit everyone using that theme and not 
just Geary users, look at switching your desktop's icon theme to one 
that better suites your taste - has Font Awesome been packaged for the 
XDG icon theme spec? That would be pretty... awesome ;), or see whether 
or not GTK supports per-app icon theme customisation - I'm not sure if 
it does, but it seems like it could be useful?

That do you think?
