+1 to eeschema icon changes +1 to reverting libedit and modedit, but with no pencils
+1 to no magnifying glass (the drill file, net and BOM icons all have three letters on them; I’m sure GBR would fit on the gerber icon) I still think we need to change the project icon in the navigation to something similar to the New Project icons (instead of the application icon). Kudos to Oliver for spear-heading this.
