These are great.   I have to say I prefer the less noisy alt-schemes, but these would be very nice in any capacity.   Possible suggestion: (lightly) Color scheme them by their general areas, like green for civilian, Blue for military, yellow for diplomacy, etc.   this would probably help new players a ton in understanding/remembering the functions of the buttons.   Perhaps just a subtle color outline around the perimeter of the box?

If I were home I’d give it a shot myself, But I’m away from my computer for a few days.

Thanks for the praise! I'm open for changing them in whatever way makes the most sense, but for now I'm trying just to make a unified style. If it's deemed necessary, colors will come after. But I'll definitely keep it in mind!

Really liking these icons :)

Brilliant work! For the sector button, I'd say several stars connected with hyperlanes surrounded with a line similar to the fleet view.

You read my mind! I was just thinking that in the shower.

EDIT: Here we go!

I really like that the "design X" windows all share the wire-frame aesthetic (and that no others do). . . it tells my brian that "wire frame = design".

Maybe putting some kind of "stamp" upon the "intelligence" paper. "Top Secret" kind of stamp.

These are shiny as hell - with 1.10 implementing hotkeys, is there any chance of a version of these that would include said hotkey? Tucked down in the lower left corner of the icon, perchance?
