Actually, I did it deliberately. Problem is that in the field of 26x26 
pixels are not so easily accommodate meaning of the action that is 
executed. There are situations when 1 pixel is small and 2 pixels is 
lot. Then we have to use clever tricks, such as blur and halftone to 
create different illusions. I think we should not judge so that if the 
line is aligned with the pixels - it is good, and if it is blurred - it 
is bad. We need to look as image looks in general.

Sounds nice, but it is very difficult to implement, because many people 
have so many opinions. I suggested icons that me completely satisfied, 
but there are people who do not like them. And that's fine, as it should be.
So how do you decide which icons should stay and which are not, you can 
customize them to your liking (but not all community).
