small toolbar icons:
Those are very tiny on my 109-dpi (non-HiDPI) 27-inch monitor.
Agreed!  -1 to changing the icon default size.  Have to say I keep
them larger on all displays, from 27-inch main display, down to old HD
laptop.  Find them unusable at smaller size.

lets disqualify that idea early :) Although I have to wonder.. wouldn't those small toolbar icons be the exact same size as all other icons too?

If they are hard to see, how do you distinguish between file type icons?

any news from the svg icon front btw?



view -> show versioning label:
That adds clutter, in my opinion, but I do most Git operations in an
external terminal window.
I find the labels useful even in that case.  Except occasionally when
things don't align with CLI git!

I used to use them as last check to see if i was about to push the correct branch. Although I am starting to use the long form now:

git push repo_url from_branch:to_branch

so that nothing is implied anymore - everything is in that line.


While we're at it, let's add '--strict-checksums' too! That one should
have been the Maven default years ago, but Maven isn't enabling it until
version 4.0:

    Switch the default checksum policy from "warn" to "fail"
    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5728
Possibly a good idea.  There's a wider discussion about default Maven
options, pom, project template, etc. there.  I think we should follow
best practices from upstream Maven, even if that means at times no
longer following the defaults.

In all this tweaking, possibly switching inline hints back off?! :-)

yes please :) Although I intentionally didn't mention this one, since this is going to be controversial.


Actually, I don't entirely think that, although I think there's some
improvement to make in the UI for them judging from recent comments.
A lesson in there on changing defaults ...

yeah, there is probably more granularity needed than just on and off. Esp once more kinds of inline-hints appear.
