Maybe we should ask some popular blog for proposals: they are usually
pretty nice. Should I?

Bug description:
The current toolbar icons pretty much all look alike, they have almost the same shapes. A simple fix is to change them so that they don't all have this "sheet of paper/list of tasks" drawing in the background, and make the actual distinctiveness (ex: the green check sign, or the stopsign, or whatever) more proeminent.

See the "Make Icon Silhouettes Distinct" section in http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/icons-design.html.en

If your action icons have source SVG files (didn't see any), I could attempt fixing this myself if you agree.
