RE: [pilot-db-list] icons are a waste of limited memory!?

[KANE P. (CA) <Pet...@er...>]

I think that the current icons are not as useable as the text version.

However, I still think that the icons are worth pursuing. Let's not throw
the baby out with the bathwater.

I think that the current set of icons needs some work, but that it is
possible to find a set that is universal and therefore helpful.

However, I wouldn't make it into a religious discussion :-)

	That's a religious discussion :-) I prefer text labels to icons
because it can be recognized without reading when you get used to it, or
read when you search for a fonctionality you don't know.
	BTW, isn't there a palm widget whitout frame, that just contains the
label itself and so use less space, that you could write in little bold font
?
