   wow i know it:)

   mentioning Windows and Apple will catch your attention.

   let see how much of you used Borland Delphi:)

   icons are BAD, and that is what i am talking about.

   usability and nice looking must walk hand in hand.

   right now i can't provide screenshot of buttons for three dektops
to express myself better.

   but i hope that you don't think that you are invented usability .
:)
if i am wrong .
sorry.
thanks

ps. i have tried to explain same thing to GNOME but they just like you  
change the point
to the catch up(widows and apple), but my point is that adding V to OK  
and X to Cancel
was designer view before almost 10 years!
Most of the buttons don't need icon.(dot)

I can't change this thing and i am leaving you to find the truth by yourself.

CHEERS :)
