With regard to the contrast in the extensions icon:  unfortunately, 
the contrast between the brown and green [1] is lower than the 
contrast between the blue and green from the previous version [3], 
even though the green seems somewhat lighter now (due to the addition 
of a lighter border with #8AE234 inside the dark green outer border 
of the arrow). This new shade of light green (#8AE234) has a contrast 
ratio of 4:1 with the #0058C2 blue, so unless you find a darker shade 
of blue for the jigsaw piece and/or a slightly lighter shade of green 
for the arrow (e.g. #8AE234 or something lighter for the whole 
surface inside the dark green border) I would use the #8AE234 on 
#0058C2 combination.

Best regards,

Christophe
