RE: [WDSCI-L] Change Icon on Perspective

["Joel Fritz" <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To me all icons look alike regardless of how carefully they were
designed.  The visual portion of my brain seems to have been burned out
or not included.  The phrase "visual aid" is an oxymoron to me. I have
to run the mouse cursor over the icons to get the comforting text from
the tool tip until I memorize which icon is in which position.  One
reason I prefer Mozilla to M$ is that it's possible to replace the
toolbar icons with text.  You can do it in Client Access too, but it's
more work. 

My theory about icon mutability is simple--the underlying code doesn't
support it because nobody cared, it was forgotten, or something was
considered more important to include to meet a deadline.   

I'm tolerant of people who like icons.  My wife identifies cds by the
color of the insert.  The home made ones with white inserts with just
the name on them drive her crazy.

Like Joe, I'm kind of curious as to *why* we can't change icons.  The
developers in my shop have commented negatively about the fact that all
the icons look alike.  

Thanks,
Kelly

You cannot change the icon for a perspective.  Nor can you delete a
perspective.  Hopefully, the Eclipse people will get to this someday.
