</span>I fully understand your position, as well as the need to progress.<br>
I think we are only talking of changing the icons, not their placement<br>
or menu organization here (although this has been discussed previously,<br>
and may be worth exploring).<br>
One possible comproise (I'm sure many will object to this also) would<br>
be, as I mentioned, to have a "legacy mode" switch so people can move to<br>
the new icon set only when they feel comfortable with this.<br>
