New toolbar graphics for level editor

Hello everyone!

I thought that toolbar in level editor needed some refreshing. Here's my attempt to do so. I'm not 100% happy with the result but what do you think?

It definitely looks better than the current one, although some things still look a bit weird.
I'm not quite sure what they are, but here a few nitpicks:
    * The plus sign on the block isn't symmetrical.
    * Somehow the lighting on the cursor looks strange.

Beside that it's great, thanks for your contribution. :)

A white background would provide a better contrast.

Looks nice, but I think Edward_Lii and MCMic are both right.
I've made the plus sign symmetrical and increased the contrast. Here's the result:

If we need more contrast we can use a lighter background:

It looks better, not sure which background should be used. :think:

@MCMic, Tedium, Edward Lii
I think we should go with brighter background.

@Tedium
I'm amazed! That shading looks just brilliant! I've to say that you're much better artist than I am! The final graphics are awesome and I'm glad that I've been in part of making them! After all this is an open source project which is all about collaboration. :D

@Edward_Lii
The plus sign wasn't symmetrical because I was trying to imitate the font used in the game. I must admit that it wasn't great idea.

The brighter version is in svn revision 205.
@odamite, Tedium thanks for making it. :)

I see it now, but my first thought was that it wasn't symmetrical.
