I've been using a dark theme for about a week now; this is the only
problem I've hit, other than that some people who IM specify a dark
foreground color without specifying any background color, making their
text unreadable to me. There's no way to get around that without
modifying people's incoming messages.

It costs us even less to just have a good icon. I'm sure it's possible
to make the current icon not look blurry on dark backgrounds. Hylke
just wanted to change it altogether because he's gotten other
complaints that the icon is unsuitable or unrecognizable.
