<div style>But for e.g. I am working with the new icon set since a very long time (to use GRASS and QGIS in parallel) and I can find everything at once but rather have some kind of problems when I switch to the old ones..</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">i.e. The difference between the "Add PostGIS layers" and "Add SpatiaLite layers" is that one has a regular cylinder and the other has a fat-waisted hour-glass cylinder - about 20-30 pixels are different in an icon that's got 1024 pixels!
I have to look at them in detail to see the differences. And there's still MSSQL and Oracle icons to be created in the new schema which using this system will only confuse things more.<u></u><u></u></p>
