Setup inkscape

• import the inkscape palette in the Tools folder. how?:
• copy other/aleta-inkscape.gpl to:
• flatpak inkscape version: ~/.var/app/org.inkscape.Inkscape/config/inkscape/palettes
• native inkscape version: ~/.config/inkscape/palettes.

Design

• the position of the icon will fit in the hints.
• the drawing must be white.
• the final icon must be only paths.
• the minimal width is a square of the grid. preferably make -2 squares lines- as minimum.
• if the icon is complex, simplify it,
• please use a color that is aproximated to the original; if the original icon shows many colors, decide by yourself what are the best color to use.

folder design

• instead of the template.svg, use the template-folder.svg.
• in that template are two hints more; they are for the subicon. * the pink is the limit of the icon. * the red is the limit of the icon's stroke.

subicons and folder

• the subicon of an icon that use the subicon template need to have a stroke of 1 px, the same color of the background, the order: "makers, stroke, fill", and it need to be converted to path.
