0 Jeff Prince Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Be careful what you wish for when it comes to “improving” the user interface. There are literally a 1000 more important things to fix with this software. The teapot iconography has a fairly universal understanding and is historically relevant to multiple softwares.

Someone tackling low-hanging fruit would never be bad as far as most software titles are concerned. I can count on one hand the number of Architects, set designers or Landscape Architects I know who got the reference. Can you explain in that context how a rendered post-processed view relates to the clip cube, a working view? Quote Link to comment

0 Tom Klaber Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 The iconography is terrible, I assumed the new icons were a placeholder required for the dark mode, but would be replaced when the real GUI refresh was done.... I know it's technically possible to customize the icons, so maybe the community can work on 3rd party icon packs. Maybe VW could implement an easy way to implement a 3rd part icon pack. If so, I will start a kickstarter. 3 Quote Link to comment
