I don't have such a strong feeling about this, but I still agree with Tony. I had the same exact experience after the upgrade. And even after months on the new Modeler, I always have to pause when locating the "Edit" button to not hit "Remove" by mistake (and vice versa). > Color is a significant indicator and I really think you should rethink the > idea of toning it down so completely. +1. Just like we went back and added color to the model nodes, I suggest we try and re-add color to the icons.
