First: please, for the love of god, do not implement brushed metal. :)

Secondly, I agree. I really like how Apple's toolbar icons are starting 
to move away from the brightly coloured, differently shaped way of the 
past (Mail.app, the Jaguar Finder, etc.) and more towards a uniform 
look and feel.

I already ranted a bit about this earlier, but I do think that the 
present icons (at least the ones in the preview screengrabs) are really 
ugly. In my opinion, they're a step backwards from what OW already had. 
I personally think that Kevin Gerich's icons for the Mac OS X versiojn 
of Firebird are totally beautiful, and definitely in the pocket as far 
as look and feel goes.

OW is, in my opinion (that word again), a "professional's browser". It 
should look like one, too.
