Is there a good reason for this that I missed ? Why not paint to the edge ?

Ok, but is it a good idea to saturate all toolbar icons with a single
shade ? Whatever colour you choose, you'll clash with someone's colour
scheme. I vote for good old grey. (BTW, my house is decorated in various
shades of grey :)

IMO think the Corel icons look like they were drawn in someone's
lunch break. I hope you're talking about the monotone look rather than
the technical excellence ;)

Um, 'convert' from ImageMagick will make greyscale versions of all icons
in 1 minute :) But there's little point in doing it when desaturating
them via code is so fast and we save a lot of storage space.
