The black bar at the top that contains the "pin" and "remove" buttons should be removed. The buttons get a slight re-styling so that they can be stand-alone.

Agree here.  I believe this was a change Boriss was going to make?
Yes, Limi told me this so I figured Boriss knows about it :)

Instead of a bar, let’s show only the two relevant icons in the same semi-transparent black at the bottom of the thumbnails.  The attached icons are all black, but at 50% opacity on thumbnail mouseover, 70% opacity on icon mouseover, and 90% opacity on click.  When the pin is activated, it should remain in 70% opacity.

It’s true that on some dark pages it will be harder to see the shapes.  But the alternative is a multi-colored icon which looks unlike the overall style of the page or a way to determine the darkness of the thumbnail and adjust accordingly - an option both more complicated and less consistent.  Considering the icons are the same on every thumbnail, simply having the 50% black opacity takes care of most cases and certainly doesn’t hamper a user who uses the icons and thus knows they are there.

patch v1

I figured that flagging a screenshot for review doesn't really make sense here. This patch is contained in the latest UX nightlies and waits for ux-review!

On the latest UX build, the default, pinned and hovered states do not look very different. Also after pinning/unpinning a thumbnail and moving the mouse away, the pin icon does not disappear until another thumbnail is clicked. Is this by design?

The difference between hovered states is not sufficient. How about we put a dark gray box around the elements when hovered, and keep the box when pinned? (sorry if this isn't a clear explanation, I'll talk to Boriss about it. :)

Please remove this from UX until an update is ready. (See reasons in comment 7 and comment 8)
