After actually trying the new icon theme:
* The Scissors icon is the only vague tool icon -- i think the semi-transparent areas should be colored darker.

* The path and paths icon are somewhat indistinct:

So I tuned them a bit, with the following results:

Which perhaps can replace the current ones.
Mainly, it hurts clarity to use antialiasing on 45 degree lines; but I also cleaned up all the antialiasing of the path line.
* The Ink icon is the best -- clear, iconic, and attractive.
* The Undo icon is a massive improvement on it's predecessor.
* While the Duplicate icon is a little confusing at first, it's definitely more distinct and clear than it's predecessor.
* The Convert To Indexed icon is wonderfully colorful -- reminds me of Rainbow Islands.
