Gimp HiDPI

A theme to for HiDPI displays (Macbook Pro Retina / X1 Carbon).

I am (at the time of writing) running Gnome 3.18 and Gimp 2.8. Gnome handles scaling the UI pretty well but Gimp is lacking with the icons.

In summary, I just replaced the icons with flat-style SVGs and changed the background color.
