Thanks Chris! You got to this before I had a chance to respond. We need to calm down and move forward with the stable 5 release. Getting hung up on icon details isn't going to get us anywhere. I should have pushed all of the off until v6. Lesson learned. Now that it's merged, I will only accept minor tweaks to existing icons. If you want to do any significant icon changes, it will have to wait for v6.

When I was your age, we didn't even have icons. All we had were characters and we liked it!
