--- Comment #3 from Heiko Tietze <[email protected]> ---
The MSDN guideline [1] says:
Consider providing menu item icons for:
* The most commonly used items.
* Menu items whose icon is standard or well known.
* Menu items whose icon well illustrates what the command does.
Don't feel obligated to provide icons for commands that don't have a standard
visualization. Cryptic icons aren’t helpful, create visual clutter, and prevent
users from focusing on the important menu items.
That makes a lot of sense as the use case of icons is primarily not being a
visual candy but an eye-catcher for frequently used items. If we show an icon
one every single item the user finds to visual attractor and gets rather
disturbed. So a +1 to this change. The circumstance is covered in our HIG by
the mentioned sentence.
Question is, of course, what items are "most commonly used" and "well-known
standards". But that's a detail question and better handled at the patch or per
follow-up.
