I like them, they seem to fit into the GUI style better than the flourescent yellow ones currently. The partial transparency is a nice touch too. :-)
Transparency rarely works satisfactorily in icons, because icons are so small and there's simply not enough material for the eye to recognize the effect. In this particular example, what I see is just two triangles of very close shades of gray, with a rather noisy overlap area. It really takes mental effort to realize that this is supposed to be transparency.
