First at all, excuse my poor English. I think I don't understand some 
things you say. :S

I understand you are talking about 2 things: gtk dark theme and icon theme.

You say you are working to bring a default dark theme together a 
gnome-art libre symbolic icon theme, isn't it?

The thing is that the icon theme I'm working is based on gnome-art libre 
symbolic icon theme and the gnome-art is not finished. So I try to 
finish it.

So, maybe some parts of my work, but all, could be used to achieve your 
goal.

My theme can be used on light gtk themes, the gnome-art libre does not 
work on light themes cause icons are lighter too. I have working on two 
symbolic icon theme versios: one lighter (based upon the original 
gnome-art libre set) an the darken one (the theme you can see on 
screenshot and download from previous mails).

May be all the people involved on gnome art-libre set could be agree to 
change the license to GPL.

There are a AUTHORS file with all the e-mails and we can ask them.

I'm agree to change the license, so there are no problem in my concern. ;)

Thank you, I do the best I can. ;)
It is a pleasure work with and for Gimp.
