"X" icon conflict

I just realized (after many years of using FC :) ), that very similar, almost the same icon is used for closing FC dialogs and for Delete. I think it's not good, it might be confusing...

My suggestions:

1. Do not use any icons for OK and Cancel buttons.
2. Use the other icons with colors (green and red), perhaps like this, close dialog button in Win10 explorer:

3. Use the other icons without colors (grey), like this from explorer:

Comments are welcome, which solution (if any) do you prefer?

Personally I do not have a problem with these icons. The context makes it all clear.

I say leave the close dialog X icons as they are.

For users who don't like the big x in the toolbar for delete, they can change it to something like a trash can icon.
