Would your problem be solved with more distinctive icons at the current
size, do you require icons bigger than available now, or both.

The new icons are (as far as I remember) (mostly) taken from
OpenOffice/LibreOffice. Having the same set of icons for common tasks in
different programs should also help recognization.  

OpenOffice has a number of icon styles. Could you try whether there is an
icon style in OpenOffice that suits your needs? Or maybe another set of
Gnome/KDE/Gtk icons? Maybe LyX could make use of this wide choice too.
