Perhaps you meant "more visual detail", then?

Because it's hard to beat black-on-white on contrast.

I suppose I can also agree that these are a little simplistic. But they 
keep in one style, and won't give a random new user impression than 
Emacs hasn't been updated since the 2000s.

Might a different icon set work even better? Sure. Alternative proposals 
are probably welcome too, but see Stefan's full post for caveats.
