Bug Description

The Apply-icon used in the toolbars for example Synpatic an Liferea is much more
grainy than other icons.
Guess it's missing a resolution, the "toolbar" resolution?

I found this bug where OK/cancel icons were proposed:

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/tangerine-icon-theme/+bug/40607

And these are the icons:

Surely the proposed red cross's metaphor is not different from the current, ugly red cross? I don't think the proposed green tick's metaphor differs from the present, ugly green tick.

So, why give the user ugly button icons when they could have ones that are basically the same, only they look good instead of crappy?

I guess we can close this bug report, once Edgy has a new set of icons.

Ernst, have you tried Edgy? If not, take a look at it.

Feel free to reopen this bug if you want.
