They *do* look uglily old-fashioned, and with too much contrast.  To my
taste, the few times that I used preview-latex, the red icons mixed with
text (default black on white) distracted me too much.  It is nice after
the job is done, but before it is done, one prays for that red triangle to
dissapear as soon as possible.  Something with less constrast should be
considered.  Why not just the pic of the guy working without the red, or a
clock, or other object resembling work being done.
