I agree, no pencils, no magnifying glass.
By the way, anyone else thinks the .lib file icons in the navigation
looks weird? If it's meant to look like a few stacked books, why are
they tilted in weird directions?

if the modedit/libedit icons are to be reverted then i believe

them they just seem odd

I have been intending to revert the annotate icon in eeschema to

I have attached a patchset which performs the following:
1. Revert libedit icon to previous version
2. Revert modedit icon to previous version
3. Updates pcbnew icon to look more like a PCB
4. Update colors of eeschema icon
5. Various (almost imperceptible) tweaks to a number of
icons to fix graphic alignment issues
Here is a screenshot of the updated icons:

I wish we had something resembling a policy for
icons. It seems like
someone always wants to change them. We had decent
icons for these
_before_, and then someone submitted new ones, and
they were accepted
because... I don't know? Many of the new icons are
really ambiguous and
kind of useless. Shouldn't have been merged.
This is why I'm pushing for *a* change and not *my*
change, I remember how the argument went last time,
before they were silently merged.
I also note that there is a lack of consistency between
similar icons. e.g. there are many icons which
incorporate an arrow but the style/shape of the arrows
varies.
For the record, I like these proposed ones. They
bring back the ability
to recognize them at a glance.
