Hi Matthias,Thanks for your reply.If you look at gnome-looks icons, there are lot of icon
themes based on a preferred geometry (like circular, rounded-square etc. I personally use
https://github.com/numixproject/numix-icon-theme-circle).As any themed icons-sets, those
icons only work with prebuilt icons (those provided by the upstream). If I use a software
that is not themed by the upstream, it looks out of place. I have added my screen-shot for
an example, with nedit not themed (see
http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_from_2015-05-05_13-34-03-cZkzdwST.png )In android system,
it is very common that if icons are unthemed, then it will get a layer (masking) ...so all
icons have same shape.

Could you explain what you mean by icon masking, and why it would be
useful to have ?
