agree, I think very few like it

agreed, looks modern and easy to build upon

we have done some experiment with this, and I agree it is very easy to
get inappropriate results. a tone can be useful for the reasons
mentioned, provided it is very faint.

One more issue: resistance to change is usually very high among many
users, so new icons should bear a clear relation to old ones (it should
be easy and consistent to tell how each icon has transformed). I'm not
in favour of maintaining the old set as an option for
retrocompatibility, but probably many users would be happy of this.

Thanks for the interesting discussion.

All the best.
