The design team did *not* want any app specific icons made [eg: Tomboy , Rhythmbox] not even in color .... And UbuntuOne seems to fall into this category.
I believe they wanted only the system icons , battery/network/volume/Indicator-applet/indicator-session in greyscale .
We might need to get the design team to chime in on this.
IMO , restricting the greyscale icons only to the system icons , makes sense.
It differentiates the system icons from the app icons.
Also, we could not possibly cover every app and make a greyscale icon. And the branding of these apps will be lost in the default setup,which is not ideal.
Even the human theme does *not* include icons for specific apps.
