The theme looks great, except for the copy and paste icons, which look 
exactly the same to me.  The arrows look like they go from a piece of paper 
back onto it.  I don't see how anyone could guess which is which.  How 
about a camera or better yet a photocopier icon for copy?  Maybe a 
simplified photocopier looking thing showing the lid slightly up and maybe 
several cascaded documents in te background behind it.  No more complicated 
than the printer one, which looks good to me.  It's simple, but has enough 
detail to show what it is.  Paste is harder.  Seems like there's no good 
object besides maybe a can of paste with the combination lid and brush 
thing, but who really uses those?
