Hi all,

I'm trying to achieve a highlight effect on some icons, as specified by Tango (http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon ... Guidelines).

Now, I have no problems with simple shapes, like squares and rectangles, but when it comes to irregular shapes I cannot quite create the effect that I want. Here's an example of what I managed to do so far: http://www.placella.com/gl/icons/plugins.svg.gz

As can be seen from the above file, I managed to add an extra stroke by layering the same shape over itself several times. But the problem is that you can see this highlight on the outside of the shape, where this is not desired as the highlight will eventually interfere with the shadow.

Many thanks for any assistance with solving this.

I don't use a .svg viewing capable browser, could you post the regular inkscape .svg? Here is a .svg friendly upload web site.

You cannot create multiple strokes in SVG, but you can use linked offsets (Path menu).

Brilliant! This is exactly what I needed.

Thanks.
