Hi Mario, totally agree with you. I will definetly consider your feedback. It is not easy to find well suited icons for all kicad tools but we are getting there. I particularly like the idea of a transistor half drawn for the lib component editor.... for the cvpcb... well not easy to draw something that implies a half done layout....
