6'-9" !! :shock: You must be the tallest XY user on the planet! What's that in the metric system? 210 cm?

Google converter says 205.74 cm....yes, I am rather tall! So? :P
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!
(XP on laptop with touchpad and thus NO mouse!) Using latest beta vers when possible.

Ok, tall man. It's hard for me to change the icons without having any goal to reach (because I don't see the problem over here).

This better? Image


Here's something else that might rise hopes: I'm planning to make the size of the toolbar icons configurable. Wouldn't that help?[/img]

Maybe it could help a little bit if you would draw the lines continuous grey and not fading. Example:

EDIT: Wow. It seems that we both had the same idea...

I'm assuming Peter's top row icons are same as current, and bottom row are new vers? If so, yes...they are definitely easier to see!

But Don's icons were also about the same... much better! It was easier to compare "is A better or B better" with that partial screenshot, as I full-screen'd my IE session so I could position them in about same spot as XY and then Alt-Tab'd back-forth between the two...

Matter of fact, now in Don's icons, in the first two on the left, I even now see an extra divider line that may not belong! Because, in the IP area of those icons, I see a line at same place as IP/list divider is in rightmost, in addition to the IP/list divider as intended to show typical location.

This line is intended. To show the 2 states min/max resp. min/last size.

:oops: Duh! Never thought about that! But it makes perfect sense now that you say it! Anyway, I tried looking at those new sample icons from various angles, and they are better!
