Sure, and this is why I keep saying 'user interface *appearance*'. The user interface as a whole is an entirely different thing to talk about. >>> And even if RitLabs hired 100 graphics artists TB! will never be >>> main stream.

This is why I usually make no claims in that regard. You made the claim, so the burden of proof is on you. The #1 perfectly rational reason for one not understanding why Ritlabs would waste time on feature X is that one isn't aware of the needs of the userbase Ritlabs currently serves or targets. Of course, close behind that #1 would be the more popular #2 which is that Ritlabs don't know what they're doing. > Agreed a icon with a different color doesn't make a program more buggy. > But I can fully understand that users that have real problems with a > certain bug rather would see RitLabs spend the X hours/$ they spend on > the icons was spend on debugging. Yes, I know the feeling. I've felt it before, but not with icons. I've felt it watching other major new features being added, while I suffer at a fundamental level with IMAP. >> Accusing me of making your mail out to be hate mail is a bit over the >> top too. > I actually defended RitLabs in my original post.
