Make it yourself icon theme : from Sardi Mono Colora to Sardi Mono Colora Plum

In the Sardi Mono Colora folder you will find a script to change all orange colored icons to any colour you want.

We use inkscape to test what colour combinations we like and copy/paste the codes into the script and run it.

We end up making a new icon theme with the name Sardi Mono Colora Plum.

16 million colour choices
