The benefit of using stock icons is that those are themeable. I would prefer not to turn yast into a generic theme distribution. Also I'm really against the overuse of icons in the menus. Having every item in a menu have an icon makes the menu look very busy. It is beneficial to add an icon for a very commonly used action, but having an icon for every item is just adding visual noise. In the case of the menu you describe, I'd only have an icon next to the 'add' item. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This is about menu icons. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The good rule of thumb is not using any icon where a clear and obvious metaphor cannot be constructed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
