   > We may have different philosophies here, but I think having a large number 
of explicitly exposed options, about very minute details of the UI, reduces 
usability (due to [decision 
fatigue](https://www.nngroup.com/articles/simplicity-vs-choice/)).
   
   no i do understand this problem. Adding options for everything is not my 
first choice, there is a budget for that too. But UI topics specifically have 
the tendency to be very user specific. I still see users having nimbus LAF 
enabled from time to time for example (which is to my eyes super ugly and also 
somewhat broken in NB). And we clearly have a situation here of some liking the 
new icons and caring less about consistency (or rising valid points of not flip 
flopping between two states from release to release), and others caring more 
about consistence and/or maybe not liking the new icons. This maps beautifully 
to a checkbox. We can make both camps happy - that is all I am trying to say :)
