The only way to have a consistent icon set that looks good on dark and light backgrounds is to provide icons with a real alpha channel. 100% transparency per background pixel, like we have it now, does not work in terms of a professional look. PNG supports this pretty good. But this would lead to a redesign of ALL icons used in Eclipse.
