If we go with the current #2 used in Wireshark 1.9.3, we will have MAJOR
complaints and headaches. I would immediately toss those icons and forget
the "record" metaphor completely as it affects so many areas - such as
documentation, terminology, etc. Given the comments to this poll, people
want simple and green=go/red=stop. Color blind issues indicate the need for
a shape as well (arrow/square). Think the green arrow/red square makes
sense (no circles) - see recommendation below.
RECOMMENDATION:
Start= just green arrow
Stop= just red square
No circles around the icons - simple, ok for color blind folks, smaller
icons can be created - this was suggested in the poll comments.
