--- Comment #8 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> ---
... forgot to mention: you repeat that "it is not relevant enough, let's switch
the graphic to something non-directional" - which is fine, *iif* you manage to
suggest a metaphor that is equally telling. I could imagine something like
"..." (ellipsis) - which would still be "directional" is a sense (it would need
to be, again, in a "natural continuation" place) - but it would be much worse
as an icon, because to be understandable, it would need to be much larger (more
obtrusive); it would have to be positioned much more precisely; and - it would
assume that the "ellipsis" is a "universal" metaphor. The arrow is much more
universal - and recognizable at much smaller size. And it doesn't conflict with
border decorations (your "make the frame have a reddish halo" idea). It only
covers small part of one corner (unlike your "four small arrows in all
directions" idea). No, the "we can make it non-directional" is not the same as
"we can make it non-directional, *and* at the same time, no worse".
