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.

That's doesn't sound like tooar, to me !! But that's for another discussion ...

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'
