Icons

In recent days, I've had a chance to acually use some of the icons I posted a 
week or so back, and cofirmed my initial impression that some of them really 
suck. So I updated 6 or 8, and reposted. Some lightening, recoloring, some 
re-shaping, edge-hardening ...

I've tried to work with combinations of moderately 'reserved' reds, blues and 
greens.

Go for it. I particularly still dislike the misture of hard- and blurred-edges.

A bit too bright, for my taste. 
Whatever you end up with, I recommend you try to provide a 'theme' across 
groups 'copy/move/link' and 'copyas/moveas/linkas'
