The colors of this icon seem to be a bit off compared to the standard icons. I don't have any opinion on this icon, if you feel it is better, check it in. Just don't forget to reduce the colors some more, ideally not more than hundred. Otherwise people running on 8 bit displays will run out. When reducing colors, avoid dithering, it looks bad on icons this small. And use the same palette as for the other icons also, so the sum of colors Emacs uses doesn't increase (it is on the limit for 8 bit displays already). Jan D.
