We still use PNG icons for the Account Central that don't fit well to the Photon icons we use elsewhere.

On Mac we also use actually 32px icons (in bug 1559176 scaled to 24px).

What do you think about this tiny style update alongside the icons change?

This looks good. The newsgroup and movemail icons don't look very common but they should work in this context. For the Manage message filters you could use the filter icon we already use in the AppMenu.

Maybe the main icons (not the "Setup an Account" icons) could be a bit bigger, 24px, like the actual are.

Thanks for the feedback.
I create a couple of dedicated icons for newsgroup and movemail that follow the photon icons style guide.

I'm not super convinced about scaling up the primary icons as they're really thick and not totally well suited to be used at higher sizes.
Here, I scaled them up to 18px and scaled down the account creation icons to 14px to increase the visual separation.

This is a small variation that uses a filled background circle for the primary icons.
I was testing this solution to give a hint of our brand color, improve the visual pace of the page, and remove the necessity of scaling up the icons.

Looks good to me.

Looks good too and gives some colour to the page. It makes things a bit harder to position as especially the calendar icon looks off-center.

I forgot to write in the other comment: I like the new icons for the newsgroups and Movemail. Maybe the strokes on the newsgroup icon need aligning to the pixel grid as some seem to be dithered.

Great to see the account central icons rationalized and updated. I think it's important for ui consistency that the folderpane account folder/server icons are the same as the new account central account type icons. And there should be a 24x version of the account icon as well. See also Bug 1542631.

Yes, I totally agree.
I'm gonna file a follow up bug dependent on this one in order to tackle that section right after.

Pulling Magnus into this to gather his feedback on this possible implementation.

I'll leave this to you and Richard. Seems fine to me.
