applications now still use the model you described but I don't like it
because it does not seem to me well-designed.
1. if the application uses sunken icon for checked menuitems, you can
often very hardly say if it is checked or not.
I agree, sunken is not ideal.
2. if the checkmark is drawn instead of the icon then you loose the very
useful mnemonic help telling you what each menu item means. It is very
helpful for beginners and also for people whose native language is
different from the language used in the application. They are often
orientating themselves only on the icons.
I think with a blue border + background it's quite clear that an item is
checked.
With a checkmark it is. As I wrote in my other reply, for images it is
op to the develloper to provide a good set of images. An image which
would cover the whole area is not a goor image for a checkmark (unless
also a checked state of the image is provided)
