Comment:

 I love your new color versions of the icons. They match the sidebar icons
 much better than the old icons while remaining familiar for people used to
 the old style. The only thing that isn't perfect might be the "white
 shadow" effect. It feels kind of intense on buttons with lots of thin
 lines like justification and lists. Either way I think they are an
 improvement, good work!

 I agree with the others about using the color versions. They are useful
 when scanning the rows of buttons. There are a lot of buttons close
 together in the visual editor, many with similar content, unlike in other
 parts of the UI like the sidebar where they are spread out. The default
 should still be to use color versions of icons. A filter-setting to use
 B&w versions might make sense, but maintaining two sets of images probably
 isn't worth it.

 RE: Fullscreen: I definitely think the arrows-pointing-out icon makes much
 more sense than the current blue terminal one. The blue square never made
 sense to me as a fullscreen icon and I don't think I've ever remembered
 what it does without clicking it to see. Arrows-pointing-out is universal
 to many media applications and even people used to the blue one will
 probably understand the arrows one right away.
