I like the idea of the checkbox.

But I think the icons are still useful, and would be more so if one could
distinguish between different types of controller. For example, it would be
useful to know if a controller was once-only, loop, random etc. Might also
be useful to distinguish between different Listeners (Full, Tree,
Assertion); and I'm sure there are other possibilities.

One solution might be to "decorate" a basic icon for each type with its
subtype - either by having multiple specific icons derived a generic one, or
by actually applying the decorator at run-time, like Eclipse does.
Either way, these should probably be resources that could be customised
locally.

I think it would be more difficult to "read" the tree without the icons (one
way to see this would be to temporarily use the same icon for everything!)

Subject: Remove icons, replace with enabled/disabled checkbox?


Hi.

Another idea that's idling around: I find the enabled/disable feature 
extremely useful, but unconfortable. It would be nice to have a checkbox 
in front of each item in the tree instead. On the other side, I find the 
icons pretty useless (may get better with more colorful and distinct 
icons, but I can't tell). I'd like to propose to remove the icons in 
favour of an enable/disable checkbox.

Opinions?

Do you like having the icons?
