Active button's style is a bit boring

[Reinmar]

The simple, rounded grey square looks somehow dull in comparison to these icons. Also, the gradient (which I actually don't like #805) strengthen this, IMO.

Previously it was the same:

But due to a darker and plain toolbar color it matched better.

Some ideas for this style:

• remove the gradient :P
• add some gradient/box-shadow to an active button
• use slightly lighter color

PS. The current style looks the worst when used in a dropdown:

One thing could be to use opacity + color so the button blends better with the gradient. Although... difference is minimal :D

We need to remember here that there must a contrast between hover and active style of a button.

I got used to these buttons. And they are less of a problem for me once we dropped the gradient. I'd be fine with ignoring this.

Moved to the next iteration. We'll have more time to gather the feedback.

I got used to it. And it looks better now, when there's no gradient. So, from my POV it's ok.
