Hehe - no worries.
So in answer to your original query about wanting to be able to color
the icons - the drawing library supports the 'currentColor' attribute in
SVG - and this is tied to the 'backgroundColor' property of the image
object the drawing is set on.
It would only take a small tweak to Brian's extension to make this work
- adding `fill="currentColor"` to the path node it generates.
Brian's extension works by fetching the path data from the IconSVG
library, wrapping it in the necessary SVG XML, and then compiling it
with drawingSvgCompile.
Irksomely, there does not seem to be any support for marking colors in
SVGs as 'currentColor' in any SVG editor we've come across (unless its
deeply buried in it). So one strategy there is making sure the colors
you want to be configurable in the SVG are set to a known unlikely
random color (e.g. #ABCDEF), exporting as SVG XML from the editor and
then just doing a global find/replace of (e.g.) #ABCDEF with
currentColor.
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
