icons aren't quite vertically centered

Some nit-picky issues with the toolbar. They don't really effect anything, but they make Netbeans appear less polished than it should. I'm using OS X, but I imagine these issues are present on every platform:

1. The toolbar icons aren't centered. Even accounting for the shadow, there is more empty space below icons than above. The difference isn't large but it's quite noticeable. This effects both large and small icons. How about centering them, or better yet shrink the toolbar to get rid of the space at the bottom? Every pixel counts!

2. The configuration drop-down menu is too small, causing the "default config" text to be cut off. Certainly, there should be room enough for what this drop-down says 99.9% of the time. This may be OS X specific.

3. The globe icon (whatever it does) is monochrome while all other icons are color--even the disabled ones. Come on! I'm guessing this was supposed to be a temporary icon and no one got around to creating a new one.

Additionally, the icon does not have a tooltip while the others do. It also is not shown in the customize dialog, and there is no small version of the icon.

4. The memory graph appears uncentered next to the others. This is because it lacks a shadow, and instead takes up all the space. Probably the only thing that would look right is giving the graph a shadow or removing the shadow from the other icons.

I honestly like the look of the shadows on the other icons, but they're a colossal waste of space and cause visual centering issues. Vertical real-estate on most displays is at a premium and shouldn't be wasted. There are plenty of other ways to make icons look professional that are more space friendly. I like the OS X Safari style of crisp, rounded rectangle borders, but that's just a matter of taste.

5. The Profile icon is clearly a much lower resolution icon than the others.
