Like you said in your reply to Po Lu, the lack of "visual detail" is a
major pain point with these monochrome icons. When I used GIMP for the
first time in a while, I was hit by their new monochrome (low contrast
too) icons and I was handicapped. I could not tell which icon was which
tool from a glance and I had to wait for the tooltip to show up. I
regularly have this problem with drawing as well.
The fully coloured icons help me to tell what one thing does in a glance
as I look at the "colour" and decide what I need but with monochrome
icons, I have to rely on the detail which is more taxing on my brain
when I'm in auto-pilot.
