Hi,
 
I reed plus sign like 'Add' .  Perhaps Folder icon suits better when you are 
opening something that is ready made, that is, stored project?  Quite othen you 
are building your project by collecting data from different places into your 
collection and using + sign is rather intuitive.  Not so important though, I 
believe both ways can be learned.

        Hi Paul,
        
          I think the menu icons are fine and great for new users.  The + icon 
on the toolbor is for ESRI users like the reviewer and long-time JUMP users.  
It is more important to please both users than following an kind of design 
aesthetic.

                I think we should have our own GUI/Icon style rather than just 
following
                the design of ESRI tools, Now when coming up with that style we 
can take
                into account design elements such as what is used in general 
software 
                and also GIS software so that any computer user would be able 
to work
                out the function of the icon.
                
                As a compramise, let's have the following icons for the open 
menu items
                and toolbar (slightly different from now) 
                
                Open... The folder with the +
                Open File... The folder with a page
                Open Project.. The folder with the project you created.
                
                
                Uwe,
                
                I'm not sure why you think the new Open Wizard is a hard way to 
load 
                PostGIS tables, in the old method you selected a drop down then 
entered
                the parameters. With the new one you double click an icon and 
then enter
                the parameters. And if someone wants to they can create a new 
panel for 
                the parameters to include validation of those parameters,
                
                Paul
