Right, but when people place you as the destructor of SeaMonkey, and
tell you that your only goal is to fight off users of the feature you
just helped to survive at all, then they put it way over the top.
Most people probably don't realize that e.g. without my work on them,
SeaMonkey 2.0 wouldn't have progress windows at all. The old ones didn't
work with the new download manager backend to which we were switching in
any case. Nobody else volunteered to write new progress windows that
work with the new one, so I did, and e.g. not having other icons
available, I just reused the ones we already had in use in the newly
written download manager window.
In any case, those people have driven me away enough that I won't work
on any improvements of the progress windows, even though I had a few
such improvements, including better icons, in work.
In my opinion you have over-solved the problem already, and I mean that in a
good way. You have done more than the minimum work to make it useful, taken
pride in your creation, etc. If the pride of workmanship doesn't justify the
time to improve further, don't.
If you're looking for appreciation, it's in the dictionary, between apathy and
asinine.
