I can't read single-color flat icons. I don't discern them as something clickable

In 1990s, Microsoft invented 256 colors icons which look a bit 3d:

these icons were used by other apps:

and today 3d with more color such as notepad in windows 7:

but in windows 8 the icon is flat and two-color again which is a pain:

can we please go away from flat one- or two-color icons in web design?
