Dark compatibility (with arc-darker gtk theme, etc) #6

This icon theme is so great because with the neutral colored folders (light gray / white) it can go with most any gtk theme. It especially fits well with your gtk themes (arc, arc-darker, ceti, etc). Right now however, some items don't support a dark background very well, so when using the darker version of those themes some things aren't quite right.

Examples:

  1. "desktop" icon (in Cinnamon, or using a Gnome-Shell extension): the icon is mostly black, but with a dark background hard to see.
  2. "recent" icon (using nemo with the dark sidebar): the backwards circle arrow is again dark on dark.
  3. "lock" icon (Cinnamon main menu): dark on dark
  4. "trash icon"
  5. "music folder icon" (I agree with another report that these icons should be modelled after the 32+ pixel icons that show the light gray folder with the places icon in the middle).

.... others ...

I would think you may need separate "dark and light" entries for this icon theme to support the above, but maybe you have a better solution?

Thanks again for the great work!
