D29095: New much simpler mouse icon that works in both light and dark breeze

[Johan Ouwerkerk]

  Hmm, the old icon also has the virtue of looking more like genuine computer mice: it resembles the logi(tech) style of mouse design quite well. This one is rather abstract while at the same time somehow not looking like any "real" mouse would, in particular in its outline: it misses all the traits of mouse design that would make it more ergonomic or smaller. Maybe this is just me but the overall width to height ratio makes it seem that the closest "real" mice are quite dated as well.

  This may be deliberate, but if you complain about it being boring you might want to mimic existing mice design a bit closer. For example: why not ditch white (which is also a trait of many elderly/ancient mice) and go with a different colour (bright colours are quite popular for laptop mice).
