I was attempting to keep your circle/triangle symbol for the small icon since it looks quite good. Maybe Christoph will play with the balance otherwise I may move stuff around. > 2.

I realize this is an issue. I feel like this came up before with the universal odf icon format. I think even though its not representative it may be universally understood. We could alternatively switch them to rectangular handles but I think having 8 would be excessive. That being said, I am not terribly attached to it so I won't really expend energy defending its use. I will think of some other subject for the icon. > 3. I don't know if the white fill inside the triangle doesn't look too > harsh - did you try the light yellow?

It looks better as a see-through object or as a light yellow.
