Hello Michael; It is great that you are able to make some improvements to the modeller.
Some years ago I spent some time drafting-up some replacement icons. Unfortunately they are not high-resolution and, with current commitments, I am unlikely to be able to complete them at this time... http://www.silvereye.co.nz/tmp/cayenne-icons.pdf The concept was that red things are Cayenne and blue/grey/purple with red/green/purple stipple are database.
