I love the new icons but one thing struck me. Have a look at this picture
Everything else monochrome and nice but the map blue and the clock purple and the house red. Great icons though

You forgot the volume icon. It like they forgot to change it…
The volume icon is new actually
keyboard language indicator looks different with current theme now too!
colorized status icons too…
but it still good news
Why is there GMT time and not UTC time?
Im on GMT and in my zone GMT=UTC at the moment
Volume icon does look a bit gross.
Actually the stand out icon is the volume control. It appears to be from a completely different icon set. Its pretty fugly really.
Hmmm looking at it I liked the one from karmic better than the new one.
That volume icon is not the one designed for the panel, if you look in the icons folder there are a lot of volume-*-panel monochrome files, that means lucid is going to ship with a patched gnome-panel that looks for *-panel icons and use them with higher priority.
Actually they arent shipping a patched gnome panel they are shipping the application indicators which arent in the notification area.
With Compiz, you can apply a colour filter to just your panel and set saturation all the way to 0.
Thats a bit of a hacky solution. I would prefer that the color match the theme.
how do you do that saturation thing with compiz?
