I think they look great in general. I am not seriously involved with
the usability team, but I have some comments anyway:

        * I found it difficult to read the "ABC" in the spell check
          icon. At first I thought it read "REC". Maybe use a font
          with an even stroke width?  This is on a 21" monitor at
          1280x1024. I sometimes use 1600x1200, where it would be even
          harder to read.

        * Why are there rivers in the icon for justified text?

        * The icon for Java .jar files depicts to jars. This didn't
          ring any bells for me until I read the extension text. Maybe
          use the coffee cup from the icon for java source?
