[Bf-committers] UI changes from cycles branch

[Daniel Salazar - 3Developer.com]

+1 on the black arrow icons, white is unnecessarily strong since the
important part is the *text*, having white on both the text and the
arrows confuses the eye in which direction to focus

-1 on the general icons being toned down.. agree with matt on this one
