Paolo,

Mathieu and I are working on a joint proposal for the current round of
grants, in which we will propose subcontracting an icon design studio
to remake all the icons from the main QGIS windows using a modern,
flat, monochrome (or monochrome + single color highlight) theme.

It's being partly driven by this exact scenario, and the desire to
present an immediate reflection to users that QGIS 3 represents a huge
step forward for the project.

(It's also motivated by our belief that a monochrome icon theme will
help prevent the interface from stealing attention from the
maps/composer/etc which is being worked on, and also play much nicer
with dark desktop themes)
