Looks like before that change set. I'll give master another go and see
what it looks like now.

*Subject:* [Qt-creator] QtCreator 4.0: Where did my color icons go
<rant>
I just compiled QtCreator 4.0 and what a surprise. It seems as if the
QtCreator team seems to have followed everyone else in UI design
lately and tossed out 30 years of Human Computer Interaction design.
Namely, you tossed colorful icons to go with a flat mono-chrome color
palette. I do not understand where this comes from? We programmers
have been fighting and waiting for years to get able to have high res
icons that can convey information quickly and when we get that
capability all the UI designers seem to have just given up on the
concept. Color conveys information quickly. It lets the human brain
decipher information with less effort than a monochrome palette.
Numerous experts in the field have written at length about this issue
and where the UI design is going and just how wrong it is. I urge the
QtCreator team to at least include a theme that retains the colorful
icons from QtCreator 3.x in the 4.0 release. It is not too late.

Let me put forth a very direct example. If you drive a white car and
you park that car in a parking lot with 1000 other white cars of the
same type (say 4 door passenger style cars), when you come back out to
get in your car, unless you parked your car in a very specific spot
(first or last) your brain needs to work much hard to remember exactly
which car is yours. Now imagine your car is red, in that same lot of
1000 white cars. Finding your car is instantaneous.
Hi Michael,
Thank you for the feedback. Do your comments refer to the state before
