The third enhancement aims to make the bitmap images that appear in menus ("SHFT", "CTL", "ALT", and "OPT") closer to the image that appears on the keyboard. This is mostly just a small enhancement changing CTL -> CTRL and SHFT to SHIFT. The big change is to change option to either a Windows key flag or a Command clover depending on if you have a Windows or Mac keyboard. Should I go with the curvy Windows key or the square one? Should I just go for the word "WIN". Same with "CMD" vs. the clover? Should I just leave the key as "OPT"?
IMO Win-key ones heavily overload the visual representation of the menu. As far as I remember in UI Design terms it is called "visual noise" and should be avoided. In my opinion the "Win" ones are much more lightweight. They are looking like text and do not supress the user's "subconscious". ;-)
