Nice to see somebody is working on a smart and a bit darker UI theme for 
GIMP. Perhaps it's a start for a fresher look.

The icons are in the GIMP Git repository [1]. Instead of replacing the 
existing UI themes I recommend to propose your theme as a new one as 
tastes are different and there's more to a theme than a stylish look.
It's also worth knowing that the GNOME Design team worked at an icon set 
for graphics applications [2]. To join your forces you should contact 
the GNOME visual design lead Jakub Steiner (jimmac) [3] or our user 
interaction architect Peter Sikking.
You find at least jimmac at IRC in #gimp or #gnome-design.

Kind regards and keep up your good work,

Sven
