I find the cut icons very confusing. They exist on different corners of the icons, and they exist on both dimmed icons and non-dimmed icons.
The only question I have about David's mockup is how prelight/mouseover affects a dimmed icon. Right now when you mouseover an icon it lightens up a bit, so I guess if you mouseover a dimmed icon then it lightens up some more?
