I did not follow what these icons/buttons are for, I can then give a <fresh>
point of view;
-They invite me to mouse over them. I kept going over them on the png...
That's good I think. They look as secondary state indicators/selectors.
-I have no idea which one is active. I guess that if one that gets some
color it will clearly say it's the active one. Maybe a blue halo?
-I can't guess what they are for. After reading some older posts, it's a
markup bar... Kind of a tag to put on a selected element? Why a guy on the
icons? I'd better understand a tag like in Picasa (to assign a keyword) or a
flag.
