 Replying to [comment:2 mikus]:
 > I believe you are missing the reason why I wrote #2282.  For me, the
 SHAPE of the icons is a "strawman" -- right now the user is presented with
 five icons, without a CLUE (especially if not connected to the wiki on the
 internet) as to how he is supposed to work with those icons.

 +1, After much effort by Walter and many design attempts and directions,
 we seemed to land a patch just to land one of them before feature freeze.
 It currently reminds me of the 'three seashells' joke from The Demolition
 Man film . Some of the other designs (I see at least 7 screen grabs on my
 desktop) were visually clearer that this one, but I think we really just
 needed an 'undo' ability and keep the simplicity/elegance of the previous
 design, rather than trying to implement a 2d fill/stroke colour space
 navigator. Really glad the new design didn't also replace the first book
 colour chooser.
