OK, I see your point. However... :)

* How about colour blind people? Shades imitating 3D still could be perceived and interpreted correctly, yet "bright colours dimension" doesn't work anymore.

* Calendar icon above the form might imply that I could see the calendar without logging on (quite handy feature, btw). But I don't know if it's clickable just by looking at it. Does it need to be blue to be clickable? Are all clickable items blue in this app?

* "Bright colour" convention as clickable is also confusing. Blue is clickable in this app, but another app might decide that red is clickable. And the green. And all shades in between. Seriously, I don't want to put any mental effort just to find a button to click.

* "icon [...] giving sense of proceeding further". That' dangerous as well. Are we going to have a convention here? Or leave it to creative souls to define the "sense"? And let ordinary people guess what the designer meant?

Yeah I know, design is a serious topic and hard to get right... :)
