Sorry if this is the wrong mailing list.

I find the button images of TDBNavigator rather confusing, especially the one for delete (the minus sign) and undo (the cross). The latter I keep associating with delete.

I would like to have less ambiguous glyphs on them, like a trashcan for delete, and a commonly used glyph for undo (see attached image).

(Yes, I know how to change them for myself only)

Your opinions?

Well, a slightly more beautiful trashcan wouldn't go amiss. It looks very old-style when compared to the other buttons. It reminds me of MS-Dos era icons :-)

You can take the user-trash.png image from the tango library: http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Library#Applications

- In which set did you find that one?
- do you mind me implementing these new icons for delete (tango) and undo (see my example)?
