Hi Phil, I mostly just use Gimp, but that is not a very efficient and effective solution. Most icons, especially those in flat styles, should be rendered/generated from a vector format instead of from a bitmap. They should be programmed, to be themable. Fontographer is actually a much better tool for the kind of icons found in bootstrap like styles Stephan
To be ready to catch up on Athens when it will be default rendering engine, you may want have source icon as svg and exported as png with Inkscape. I use this set up for iStoa clipart, oversampled as bitmap for a Nexus 5 screen display resolution, then downscaled at load time to the used display resolution.
