Well i think that limiting the refreshed icon set on gnome's icon set is not a
good approach, as it may be familiar for users of gnome but not for others.
Maybe my use of the word "flat" isnt the right word, but all of the icons are
front facing icons except for printer (front facing but tilted), currency (i
think this may also needs a new icon - maybe fewer larger coins), and the
current chart icon. The one you are suggesting has shines on it on both parts,
while others icons may have a slight highlight on them.

I know that it doesnt depend on command importance, but i'm suggesting that
there is ample space available to have it take up as much space as the drawing
icon next to it, so that its easier to spot within the many available icons in
the toolbars.

I was only recommending the use of the already available tango_testing icon as
it fits well as its front facing and a good size.

I personally like most of the original tango icon style found in 4.2 and
dislike alot of the changes made to it, mainly the direct formatting buttons as
they pretty much all look like they are bold and you cant even see the shadow
behind the shadow icon in the sidebar. I wish there was a tango_original option
that i could revert it back to in 4.3.
