Same here. My only apprehension is that the current ones have
a vector based and b/w counterparts too. Does Matias have scalable
versions of the icons too? Also, colored ones do not sit well with,
say, pdf B/W versions. I'd be happy to change icons if these concerns
are addressed too.

Agreed.

Again, if there are scalable and b/w versions too, it's ok.
I like Matias' icons too.

Green. Oh... might be touchy, but I have no strong opinion.

No objection either way.

Agreed. I prefer to keep the current. It already grew on us. I used
to not like it, but it's consensus, and now I like it.
