Looks good to me, especially in the KMahjongg pictures, where shadows
affect visibility/readability of tile faces.

Now can we make the background colour of the tile faces a bit more
attractive and contrasty, perhaps paler and less pink(?)?  I am sure this
colour affects visibility/readability significantly.  It certainly did in the
KDE 3 tile set on which this Classic tile set is based.
