breeze dark - table row/column buttons

While I appreciate the good work in making high-contrast icon sets for Writer, I find some of the icons are difficult to distinguish from each other.

The ones I mean are the table add/remove row/column buttons.

Obviously the lines are white on dark, that's ok. But each button has to highlight the part being added/removed and this is done with a very thin bluish or red outline of the row or column with tiny diagonal lines and it is barely visible. The blue ones are the worst.

I suggest remaking them, likes so: scrap the + sign, not needed. Then make the row or column or cell a solid colour.  Then we can hit the button easily without going up close to the monitor!!

There other icons where an important function is focused on with a barely visible thin colour - such as the Split page button.  So please take note.
thanks

Actually current design was inherited from Breeze upstream. It's more appropriate if this report was thrown to upstream Breeze icon maintainer. We are always try to keep in sync with upstream. But thanks for reporting
