One icon I think needs replacing in either set is the one for a graphic frame, just to the right of the one for a text frame. If one looks at this icon outside the context of Scribus (e.g., in Gimp) and at a larger size it is quite attractive. But when reduced to the size used on the icon bar it looks to me like a brownish rectangle with a light gray border. Perhaps a colored background and the letter "G" or "g" writ as large as is possible would be suitable. I know where the graphic frame icon is of course. But when rewriting my ebook on cover design I find describing it as "the icon just to the right of the text frame icon" to be a bit inelegant. And showing an enlarged version does not help if the reduced size doesn't really look the same. Just a thought.
