Right. The idea isn't "label the confusing icons and don't label the good ones". You're supposed to label the important/frequently-used icons, thereby (a) making them easier-to-notice by being stylistically different from the less important icons, (b) making them easier-to-identify by having two different ways to recognize them instead of only one, and (c) making them easier-to-click by making them bigger, per Fitts's Law. -- Dan _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
