My options were to either manually remove all of the gradients and compromise the visuals of the icons, or export large bitmaps of the icons. How cool is that? I should note an unfortunate downside to this particular library… these icons are bitmaps - not vectors!įor whatever reason, adding gradients to custom symbols caused them to never display properly. Simply drag and drop the icon you need into your document. When you open Inkscape, you’ll find these in Object > Symbols and make sure you change the Symbol set to Inkscape Main Tools. If you just want to get straight to it, go ahead and download the symbols library here (unzip it) and simply place the SVG in your Inkscape/share/symbols/ folder. With the introduction of the Symbols menu in the new Inkscape 0.91, you can easily create custom symbol libraries to make your work more efficient.


If you’ve ever needed a quick drag-and-drop interface to get Inkscape’s main tool icons into your drawing, I may have the perfect solution for you.
