IMSLP Forums

I was thinking - for the composer templates, instead of having text/ascii symbols in front of each action (e.g. ? Table of Contents, ? How to edit this template, + Add a piece to this composer page etc), we could use famfamfam icons (http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/) to replace them; if the famfamfam icons are too flashy/coloured, we could alter them to suit IMSLP's theme.

Sounds good? Or does anyone prefer the text ones?

Being a curmudgeonly old so-and-so, I will give the entirely predictable reaction of: yuck!

What's wrong with text?

=P

I think images look more eye-candy, and thus more friendly to the average user. As I said, we could change the colours to fit IMSLP, I wouldn't suggest we put flashing pink, bright green and dark blue with the existing templates..

Although actually - stripy pink sounds good.. >_>

I prefer text myself.

If I may be so bold, ëye-candy doesn't look as scholarly as text.

If I may be italic (pun-pun!), I think most of ours users are not scholars, but probably amateur musicians, or students.

Is that supposed to mean that they can't read?
