It would be great to actually see the new Windows theme, and the UI changes mentioned, in the actual blog post.

There's a short video showing the theme, and other features mentioned, as linked in the blog post ;-)

Thanks, I hate it.

The old icons were far clearer as to their purpose. Save is now a download button in case children don't recognize a floppy...

[mksaunders]

Then simply use the older icons :-)

EDIT: Three steps:

1. Go to Tools > Options in the menu 2. Click View on the left 3. Then choose Icon style on the right

Simple for you doesn't mean simple for other people.

Without writing down the steps on exactly how-to use the older icons, it doesn't equate to simple in my opinion.

IOW, you probably had done yourself a favor to not use the word "simply".

I was referring to the fact that he "hated" the icons - it's not the end of the world, as you can use the old ones. But you're right, I've added the three steps to my original post!

Cool. Great that it can be changed via the GUI, disliking icons certainly is not the end of the world.

FWIW, I didn't like the word choice on not like an icon set with the word "hate", but well I guess that's what he felt.

Personally I do like the new icons. Keep up the good work!

"It's great that what I want existsb but I want it by default and I don't want to lift a finger to do it". OSS doesn't work that way.

[wila]

I wasn't asking for it and am just fine with the new icons.

Only pointing out that "simple" is something in the eye of the beholder. If you know how something works, it is often simple.

FWIW I have been working for over 20 years in OSS ;) and often thought things are simple only to find out that users need a bit more hand holding.

No, that is the Gnome Icon set, the new Windows Icon set is still a floppy.

At first I thought you were being pedantic, but when I saw the download symbol as "save" it just felt... weird.

I agree that at some point we will need to change the floppy disk, but it was just interesting the feeling I had when trying to grok the down arrow as "save".

Guess it is just a matter of getting used to it.

Yea I found the new screenshots clicking around the website, but they should have been part of the release.
