I agree with Michael.And folder icon for Open/Load action and Blank list icon for Create new actions.Current icons very difficult to perception for me and I see tooltips periodically for simple operations open/new/save.

Is there a reason why KiCad doesn't use the standard save icon, i.e. a floppy disk?I think basically every piece of software I have used has the floppy disk save icon and it might help with the arrow situation.
Cheers,Michael

What information does the different color arrow convey?  If you are

using different colors for contrast, that is one thing but just making

them different colors for informational purposes doesn't make any sense

to me.  If you are trying convey information with different color

buttons, what is the impact on users who are color blind.
