This is first version of icons and I concentrated mainly on content. 
Content should be clear without colours.
1. Not everyone can recognize colours.
2. Colour should have some meaning, unless we make just nice images. We 
still don't have such colour table.

Sharpness was the assumption at this version, and icons were designed in 
final rendering size.
Complexity will be improved in next versions. I hope so.

I decided to use right bottom part of icons for actions. That's the reason.
