OK I've spent most of the day playing with id trying to make it work in a
manor that works for me. I'm at the point where I'm working out how to add
missing icons to the library, and I'm having some trouble finding a suitable
reference set to work from.

https://github.com/__openstreetmap/potlatch2/tree/__master/resources/icons
<https://github.com/openstreetmap/potlatch2/tree/master/resources/icons>
seems to be a fairly complete 16x16
Have you looked at https://github.com/mapbox/maki
Have found that one now ;)
And to add to the collection ...
https://github.com/mapnik/Cascadenik/tree/master/openstreetmap which is a much
tidier way of handling things.
Saman (from off list) my target is to restore the colour to the icons set on id
and I'm looking at the moment to use the same set of icons as are used on the
rendered map, which would benefit from something of a tidy-up to allow the
easier generation of alternate sets. To be honest I had expected to find a
usable set of sources, but it seems not :(
Even carto is missing the icon - power_substation - that started this two days
ago! But it's tidily included in josm/P2 and in my mapping area I'm seeing many
blank 'bubbles' on id ( god I hate that thing! ) and had expected an easy way to
initially just pinch the one off josm and add it to id !!! Not over two days
work trying to untie the knots.
Where I am currently at is that at least it seems the naming is consistent? So
the block of icons power-* should be understood by id since carto is just
missing the substation one. Although the first hit is aerodrome in carto and
airfield in id ... I'm ignoring the prefix added in josm/p2 here although when
coming up with a 'standard' it would be tidier to include that in the definition
as it has already crept into carto with the 'power_' block.
WHERE is the bast place for me to expend time next? Target wise personally I'd
like to see both the older josm/p2 icon set and the newer 'inverse' ones as
rendering options with a black and white variation for those who seem to think
its cool. Part of the start here was to get the colour back into id, and while
it's still work in progress I can complete that easily but crudely, and I will
switch the id icons to use carto at least where they are missing. The problem I
see is that the nice square coloured josm/p2 icons don't work with id, so making
that switchable will probably not work? Technically it's just changing the
sprite image, so it's only managing the master set of icons to use that needs work.
