[Qgis-community-team] [QGIS-Developer] Rename Style manager to Symbol manager in 3.0?

[delazj at gmail.com]

Hi, 
Looks like this issue is back again (for reference, see https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/2765 for a related issue) and at some point, still from a doc writer perspective, it's not easy to be sure that you are clear enough for the reader, using same namings.
We need to find two different names for these two dialogs, whatever plans we have. These are two really different features. Given that the issue is raised in ML (as requested in the PR discussion), maybe the time has come.

Regards,
