yes, that's a pitty!

i agree. i'm aware of the trend in e2 to get more and more functions or
in other words bigger and bigger. in the future, after the plugins are
redone, i'll move unimportant code to plugins.

that's true. that's why i'm asking you to create icons. i haven't
changed the default config yet, but i will. i have to make sure it finds

good, that's great! if we have 24x24 and 48x48 versions we already have
a good start. SVG icons would be ideal, though. (as the e2 logo)

yes, that looks ok. i'll have to try it in my toolbar for a bit.

anyway, sorry again for my late replys. i'm somehow really busy lately.
it's good other people keep the work up!
