Description bitzer 2002-04-08 12:40:32 UTC 
Package: gtk+
Severity: normal
Version: 1
Synopsis: cant remove default circus theme on gtk buttons
Bugzilla-Product: gtk+
Bugzilla-Component: gtk

Description:
Description of Problem:
The gtk buttons have little red and green balls. Bad choice
to have this as default, and I cant find a way to switch it off.
(I think there was a way to switch it off in gnome 1.x but
i am now using gtk2 and gnome2).

Expected Results:
A PROFESSIONAL _OR_ NEUTRAL DEFAULT LOOK.. thanks :)
Although my 4 year old daughter loves the theme...

CCing usability-maint. It would be nice if some of the other 
usability people could comment here as well.

From duped bug 104406:

Including icons in the stock buttons leads to dialogs that look
unprofessional and confusing, because custom buttons usually will not 
have icons. I've not talked to one person on the ui team that likes 
including the icons, and neither windows or the mac have buttons with 
icons.

Note that "piling on" to a bug when there isn't actually 
something to say is not really considered helpful behavior. :-)
Comment 5 Murray Cumming 2003-05-30 08:53:58 UTC 
I kind of like the icons on buttons, and I'm not much bothered that
there aren't icons on every single button.

I think you'd have to take this to a list to get agreement for such a
big change.
