I like icons because I can usually tell at a glance what/where something is. Since I don't plan on having the original RSE and my perspective open at the same time I should be fine. I was just thinking that I should be able to add my own flair to it.

Joel,
If you have kids, just let them draw on them to get the colors she needs. Or the next time she 'complains', give her a box of crayons. :-)

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.
