Yes, I agree the icons for shutter/live view are not very obvious. They are just GTK stock icons.

Not sure what todo about the progress bar flickering - that's just a standard GTK widget, so probably a GTK bug. > >>I would like to offer a suggestion for a feature (I can add this to > >>the bug tracking system if you'd like): onion skinning.
