Bug Description
First off, I really like the gnome-do icon from 0.8.1.3 but im not a fan of purple. Since the icon is in svg form under scaleable, it is easy to modify. Under preferences, there should be the option to choose popular colors (red, blue, green, purple, yellow, pink, black, etc.) It would make gnome-do more personal and make the user feel like they have ownership. This would also help with matching with themes and the actual distros themselves (fedora=blue, redhat=red, ubuntu=orange, opensuse=green, etc.) I included an example as an attachment. I hope this gets implemented. THE ICON COLOUR SHOULD BE CHOSEN BY THE USER but put the purple icon as default.

I think adding a configuration option for this would be unnecessary since users already have control over their icon theme and the icons in them, but taking advantage of the flexibility of SVGs to automatically use theme colors would be pretty awesome.
This seems like the next step from the color-themed icon sets like gnome-colors; just have the icons themselves use the theme colors.
Implementation-wise I am not sure how this would work, since I don't think SVG supports theme color references (although it might). You could copy the icon to gnome-do-themed or something and make sure the colors in that SVG match the theme colors, on startup, or via a theme hook.
