Carlos,

Got it. Thanks. 

The new tool icons seemed a little too minimalist. I went looking for an 
alternative. However, given your explanation, I'll use the #3 theme.

Hi,

Those X's are only shown if you're using the Spyder 2 icon theme. That theme is 
incomplete (hence the X's) and it's meant to be used as a fallback when we're 
unable to load the Spyder 3 theme (which is still a problem on some Windows 
systems). Once we fixed that problem, our plan is to remove the Spyder 2 theme.

Unless you're facing that problem, please switch to the Spyder 3 theme by going 
to the menu

    Tools > Preferences > Apperance > Icon theme

If that's not possible for you, please try to update to a more recent Windows 
version.


Cheers,
Carlos

I updated to Spyder 5. It went well, once I found a random internet post 
suggesting I use the conda-forge channel. I want to thank the developers for 
maintaining the python path from my previous release (4.2.something).  

 

The UI changes seem straightforward. My main question is this: What's the deal 
with the orange Xs? What are they supposed to be telling me? Why is there an X 
in front of the files in the file view? Why is an "X" the icon to bring up the 
operating system file browser? (What's wrong with a button with the word 
"browse" on it?) Why a big-ass X in the editor breakpoint column? 

 

The Xs are not bad. Yet, you went to a lot of trouble to minimize the tool 
icons (too minimal for this casual user); why the apparently superfluous Xs? 
Their purpose might seem obvious in the Spyder development bubble, but I'm 
perplexed. Please enlighten me.
