My monochrome icon theme
I have an unusual icon theme on my computer (which is specifically
designed for regular computers and not necessarily smaller devices).
It's almost completely monochrome, grey to be exact, although you
can select the colour yourself. The reason I want all icons to have
the same colour, isn't that it looks good, although it does, or that
it removes distraction, although it does, it's because colourful icon
themes is bad UX design. I'm more senstive to colour than shape, hence
the description of subpixel rendering on text looking like someone
sprinkled glitter all over the text feels apt. This means that removing
colour from icons remove their most prominent feature, which is good
in this case because many icons share similar colour making it easier
to click the wrong icon by mistake because they look similar. Another
failure of colourful icon themese is that warning colours fail to draw
your attention, this is why may icon theme only uses colour when it
needs to draw your attention, when the user has specified a colour to
mark an object into some user defined category.
