I agree the icons look good, and have a consistent clean look.  I probably would
have chosen brighter colors, but the icons look good together.

The detail used to differentiate the icons needs to be scalable.  Other details
that embellish the icons are probably not needed as they will be lost when
scaling the icons.  Consider this when placing text into icons.  The programmers
have done a good job of implementing the tool tips, so a user can easily figure
out what an icon does, so text is really not needed in the icons.
