Dramatically changed Icons in newest v3.34-beta.6 - What do you think?

I've left some separate bug reports but happy to report the 125% is sorted!

Thanks! I'll look into those.

I might miss the wee web sources globe but it does now look standardised to the representation of a global "world wide web" network.

Yes, creating anything above 32x32 pixels exceeded by icons design skills (and I've tried ). Those icons now include versions up to 128x128 pixels, so you'd probably be able to spot the different countries in that version.

Come to think of it, allowing custom icons per web source/action would be immensely cool.

I was probably too brief in the changelog, but you now can add custom buttons to the toolbar using View → Customize toolbar... (or Customize... from the toolbar context menu). This includes buttons for any tag source/action with the option to customize the icons.

This is another significant step:
We can now even hide and move toolbar icons!

Do you save these changes internally or in an existing/new .ini file?

View → Customize toolbar...

It is now possible to set a new toolbar icon for every single Action or Tool or Web Source Script!!

Just great!

I thought it might be best to have a separate human-readable file for that, so it's in data\toolbar.ini.

Good idea!
This would allow us to share our favourite toolbar compilation.

BTW, for those interested:
The toolbar.ini file also includes information about custom third-party icons, such as in the following example:

Of course, the icon_file "link" to the external source (like chrome.exe in the above example) must exist at the given path on the target computer.

Thanks also to everyone who likes the new icons, or likes both versions. Your feedback makes all these improvements feel like they're actually worth the effort.

Change is hard, I hope you can bear with the new icons until the next beta.

Apparently change is hard for me... At first I preferred the old icons so I switched back to them as soon as you could. That was too hasty. Now two months later, after some playing around with the new toolbar config, the new icons have won me over. They are a more clear and distinct design that I like which also make them a tad quicker to spot, at least for me - especially the "Convert" ones. So for me, the new icons are the clear winners. Thank you for the great amount of thought and work you obviously put into this.
