> 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 :) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
