Make icons BIG? Yes, we agree. Practically all of the users in our computer \
laboratory, most of them non- techie and home users enjoy using KDE. They work faster \
with bigger icons, since it's easily seen and accessed. I did a formal usability \
study on them just recently. They all like the size of icons in Windows XP. They also \
prefer bigger menus (the menu size in XP), big font sizes (minimum 12 points. Or 11 \
points in boldface), and easily-recognized and logical icons (they love connectiva \
crystal icons on Liquid).
