Provide a better Sound icon

[Tvangeste]

I've heard it many times from various users, they don't like the Sound icon. It's too big, it's ugly, it looks dated.

It would be nice to provide a better-looking icon. But we need an icon with clear copyright status, not just random icon from web.

See, for example, here: http://goldendict.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2105

Wouldn't the preferred icon be symbolic and monochrome like the ones on github?

Also I've just noticed that the default icon noticeably affects line height for small fonts. I think if it is possible it should scale itself proportionally to line height depending on the font size.

Support for monochrome icons.

@cohidi, what do you mean by "like the ones on github"? Where on github?

[vjjustin]

Might not be the sound icons. Most icons on github uses the monochrome style (like the expand,edit,delete comment icons).

@VVSiz pardon my English, I've meant github's interface icons as an example, full color icons are generally used as desktop launchers, interface icons are simpler in design (generally flat)

@Tvangeste can we update the sound icon? I personally like the ones users eneji and pesgd have used in http://goldendict.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2105

@chulai, this icon: http://findicons.com/icon/70189/sound ?

It does look nice, but it has incompatible license. If you could check with the author and get his permission to release the icon under GPL, then we could include it. :)

Yes, will do.
