Personally I think that this new proposal is much worse than the current
implementation (which was created by me and was improved by Waldo Bastian) and
I see no real advantages. I rather see lots of disadvantages.

Most users who want to change something about the icons want to change the
Icontheme as the icon size is something which is set automatically according to
the display resolution. The remaining few < 5% have to choose the second tab
where the advanced features can be seen. 

On your solution these quite advanced features like "animated icons" and
"effects" are plainly visible and serve only for irritation for 95% of the
users. Also your solution lacks the "Comments". In addition your layout
prevents that we will be able to add a Screenshot Preview instead of the
IconPreview for Iconthemes (which makes sense if you only change a few icons or
just icons in certain icon groups).

Concerning the Effects part I guess that you simply didn't get what you can do
with effects (it's not just there for "highlightning"). But of course I can't
say that for sure as the .ui-file lacks the Advanced Highlight settings (way
too long name anyways - the word "settings" is completely redundant).
