   I don't think we should be doing these one-by-one. It will not end up 
looking good, and reviewing will take much longer than if we do 50-60 of these 
in batch at a time. For these particularly simple icons (a single square and a 
single circle), making the style consistent with other icons, and ensuring 
alignment to the pixel grid etc., is 90% of the work.
   
   We need to do a full batch of icons from 
https://people.csail.mit.edu/ebakke/misc/netbeans-icons/prioritized.html , and 
ensure they are following some agreed-upon style guide (e.g. as proposed in 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2617 ). Then we need to go in 
and make sure the vertices in the icons are aligned to pixel boundaries and so 
on.
   
   (As an example: In these particular two SVG icons, the style is inconsistent 
with existing icons because the borders are too hard. The proposed style guide 
in NETBEANS-2617 prescribes 33% transparency for the border, on top of the fill 
color. The fill color of the "Stop Macro Recording" is also too dark--the shade 
of the old bitmap icon was better.)
   
   So let's hold off integrating individual icons until we have a large batch 
done.
