SVG files show as black matted outlines
I've tried everything but I still can't get these SVG files to show up as anything but the all-black matted version of themselves. Transparency AROUND the image is fine, internally, just black. Everything I've found so far is about SVGs being black inside some other app or misrendering in browsers. I just want the image to show properly in the UI (maybe use it as an icon or wallpaper if it works).
There is no fill on the SVG. There are no camel-cased attr names. The same image shows up fine in Windows & MacOSX. Strangely, all the internal SVGs GNOME uses for icons are working just fine. It also renders fine in any browser.
So what am I missing?

What do you mean "shows up fine in WIn and OSX" exactly? What were the SVGs created with? Do they display correctly if you open them with Firefox or Chromium?

Same here, with Ubuntu 16.04 no clue why, Chromium shows them properly

@dobey read closer: browsers render fine. we're talking use in the GNOME UI as icons, elements, &c. they just show up with a black BG. and the creation tool is irrelevant; the output has nothing declared for the BG nor is there any BG element to start with.

Creation tool is quite relevant. Not all tools output the same SVG, and not all rendering libraries support the same filters. Please attach screenshots and a link to an SVG which renders wrongly in Ubuntu.

OK. It looks mostly fine here. Please edit your post to include a screenshot of what it is you're seeing. Also, please don't use URL shorteners to post links on here. Thanks.
