by all means you're free to revert the old icons if that pleases you better.
for the sake of mind, here goes the differences with that Procol Harum effect ;)
before (old aka. dammit win95 style icons):
after (new homebrew whiter shade of pale style icons):
Is that a really shocking move ? Let me tell that it's all intended to make all those standard, old-fashioned, dumb routine icons to be a little less prominent (is that even a High-German word? :)). Let's also remember that those older icons style are eh... more than whole two decades old?
Anyway, I am not really ditching your opinion. In fact, the reason why it stayed like that so many years (a dozen) has been quite a stance for some (focusing on what really is the core mission: an audio/MIDI sequencer) but also a curse from others (say "this surely looks as ugly as old fashion an UI can go--it sure cannot possibly do whatever it claims to standards while on this new millennium") yeah, you know the thrill ;) (here we use to say:- One cannot ever please both Greeks and Trojans, ever.)
Leaving all the rest behind, if you may of course chose to do the way you please, you probably like the new Whiter Shade of Pale Mixer icon, don't you? :)
