If re-design will be done with future in mind - fully configurable, you can have different "themes", and if someone is into puffy-gradient stuff, they can have this look in a matter of a few clicks.
Yes, all buttons should first and foremost support the OS level text which is crisper and easier to read and scales to customers needs.
Pictures are a secondary nice to have and should be translucent backgrounds to support the color theme.

There is one small exception where you're making small toolbars of tools such as pencils for writing erasers for deleting Cursor for moving in that case a small transparent background picture works best because you do not have room for the text,
