I'll take a look later tomorrow pm and see how far I get.

Just to confirm, I'll take an activity SVG icon and create an image  
with alpha chanel, containing just the icon stroke details... and  
fills that are in stroke colour, and not strokes that are in fill  
colour – happy, happy, joy, joy :-) Now do you want the transparency  
to strobe with a fixed colour, or do you want a fixed transparency  
(say 30%) with a colour strobe (black to white ping-pong)?
