This is turning out to be a nice compromise. I haven't looked at the set thoroughly, but it looks pretty good in many respects.
I think the old writing tools do fit nicely with the tangoish style as you've redone them.
Two things you might consider changing:
- keep the cursor style consistent between the selector and node tool icons - the drawing tools still have an outlined look, which is always going to look odd to me
I also think there's a problem with the concept that we have to have one set which is all things to all people.
As I suggested before, I think it would be best to have separate sets. I think there's definitely a use for the completely consistent Tango/Art Libre set, as well as a Tangoified non-consistent set (which could be the same as this modified set, which does the job nicely in many respects), as well as versions of each for a dark background (which should be simple enough to update), as well as (your desired style here).
Can we agree to work on this concept? I think it would make a lot more people happy.

Hello!
I have made some modifications over the theme from Guillermo Espertino.
Guillermo and me have been talking and we think that this new modifications could be a nicesolution to renew the default icon theme but no tango-ished too much it.
I have redesigned some tools to use the original ones but adding a consistent look and ensure the correct grid align and visualization over dark and clear background.
I have retouch the border of some tools like some of you have suggest.
I retouched the Text Tool to allow a little more constrast with dark background.
And some others minimal changes. ;)
I hope you find this way as the correct one. ;)

Pdta:
Only one thing more: please be polite. This work is not simple and is a work that requieres time and effort. So, please, avoid to convert this mail thread in a war between pro-Tango and anti-Tango or a list of unviable particular personal wishes. We must think about the usability, technical issues, and problems with some icons wich could not be correct. But alwais send constructive ideas, please.
We could, together, improve Inkscape. Thats the big rock. ;)
