  That would be awesome, though they would be tolerable if the UI wasn't lagging out so much and seemingly ignoring clicks all the time. It started off with S6 and it has slowly grown worse over time. It's damn near unplayable now.

  Yes this is a good idea.

  As for me, i absolutely DON'T like the new Icon-Set.
  
  The biggest Problem here is clearly the Resolution. Maybe on lower Resolutions the new Icons are "nice". But on higher ones, especialy HD-Formats (1920x1080 or higher) it looks just TERRIBLE. :mad:
  
  As for me, I find it very difficult to keep the individual icons correctly apart. Many of them look very similar, sometimes only as a series of splashes of color. How i tell, at higher resolutions, the icons look just awful.
  
  The old, however, could be seen quite clearly, and were easy to keep them apart. You could see everything clearly with a very quick look. Now even the debuffs are shown so bad that you not even see if you have just a debuff active. Example: The subnucleonic beam: Before it was seen as a small, light blue and highly recognizable icon, now it is dark blue and hardly recognizable as properly debuff and so on...
  
  My wish is: either bring the old icons back or as suggested here:

  What I'd like to see is for the icon sets to be optional like the UI itself was. Have "classic" and "new" versions, and let the player decide what they want.

  Uhm, I'm running a nice big 1920x1080 monitor here... No visibility issues whatsoever, and the aesthetics seem fine to me. Though I do agree that Subnuke's new icon is a bit strange-looking, but at least it has some meaning, compared to the old one that was just a big techy-looking wheel.

  Do you not keep your powers in the same slots? I pretty much never change mine so I look less at the icons and more at where they are on my tray to tell me what they are.

  That's the only reason I ever reasonably know where is what.
  
  But seriously. If you like these icons, you may do so gladly. But I do not and many others i know also not. I think the old ones were much clearer and i want them back please. Or, like here suggested, let choice the players for themself, what they prefer.
