Hi, Lars.
In theory it's related to our work, but in practice that is a lot of  
design work (and different design skills, different resources, etc).
So we have no plan to revisit the icons given our resource  
constraints.
We'd welcome contributions, obviously!
We are looking at ways to declutter, fade, or remove icons. (For  
example, do view tabs always need icons?)

This might be slightly off-topic: I've never liked how Eclipse  
minimizes (view) folders. Minimizing turns it into a vertical bar with  
just icons. When I minimize, it always takes me a while to find out  
where the folder went. I would prefer such a folder to minimize to  
just the row of tabs (that is, the content panes disappear, the tabs  
stay). Not as space-saving, but less confusing (for me, at least ;-)
