The super heavy shadow that was being used was a left-over from the Oxygen and Air themes. It is still using a shadow of course just not as heavy.

I do agree with Kai that the horizontal-bars-with-circly-things looks better as a settings icon, the window of some sort is not that much telling.

But I don't want to keep remembering the looks of windows to associate them with an icon/action (not mentioning the config window looks might change and that would change the icon (again) I presume). It's kind of like the "save" button all of a sudden getting a /literal/ looks of the save dialog instead of that floppy that everyone is so used to.

Also the icon (the one with sliders) is for 1) Start menu categories 2) a somewhat small version of System Settings but not really and 3) a workaround for applications whose toolbar uses a category icon (the actual use) -

Icons in the system tray are taken from the icon theme. Icons in Kickoff are not monochromatic as only 16px and 22px icons are monochrome in Breeze. Better padding overall for elements. New visual for both task manager widgets that matches the states of the buttons. Checkboxes, radio buttons, sliders and scrollbars now have the colors used in the Breeze colorscheme.
