Better icon for 3D View Display (Wireframe) in layer settings

The current icon to turn wireframe on and off is very difficult to differentiate at a quick glance, as opposed to the visibility icon which is easy to understand: a closed eye and an open one.

I am not sure why the old 'coloured' icons (version 18) could not have been kept for layers.
Even then these were the 'grey' theme with the exception of the red locked layer - which I think is still better than we have now.
The solid icon actually had a grey fill to it that made it easier to see.


Barry.


Seems to be an issue adding images at the moment.
I'll try again later if I remember.
A different browser worked.

That’s a good reminder Barry. I am glad about the UI change that came with 21 (or was it 20?), but certain good and functional elements were lost in translation. One could argue that a more unified look would be helpful too - no shading meaning on, gray shading meaning off. On/off system doesn’t really apply to the wireframe display mode, but one could argue that the ‘default’ view should be the shaded view, thus making the wireframe view the ‘off’ or non default setting.
