should install a highcontrast app icon

We are aiming to have an highcontrast app icon for all apps in 3.8. See https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/HighContrastAppIcons

Hi Andreas, The HC icons should be added as HighConstrast icons, right? but what should I do with the symbolic one?
Adding Matthias and Jakub to the discussion to see if they have any tips about best practice here.
Note for all the other icons I have committed I have not used the -symbolic .svg. Also awaiting what we should do there - i.e. should it go into scalable?
Also some of the older high contrast icons are in gnome-themes-standard module, we need to know if they should be moved into the game modules.
Any progress on this? It would be great to close this Goal before 3.8 release ;) Thanks!
Ping: any news about this?
Matthias Clasen knows how to best install these.
The current process for the conversion is a bit painful: 1) Copy the symbolic icon into your gnome-icon-theme-symbolic tree 2) Run create-highcontrast from the gnome-themes-standard tree 3) Pick the generated hc icons out of the gnome-themes-standard tree
The following fix has been pushed: 62bf591 Add high contrast icons

Not as-is: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-sudoku/commit/?id=8b921d2e901f2fc355a5d7471a2c9578b104fa26 It should be safe so long as the icon ends in -symbolic.svg to distinguish it from the normal icon. But I haven't been able to find a single application that distributes a symbolic icon (apart from a couple in gnome-icon-theme-symbolic). I suspect it's just not needed unless we actually use them?
