Hi, I do see the need for a modern icon set to be used in the now so popular "dark mode" and for the upcoming Windows 11. This has already been discussed, but since we are all volunteers someone has to do the work in the end.
Can you give examples of what you would like to change? Maybe we can integrate some of them, but a major overhaul of the UI is very unlikely to happen. We need volunteers (and more important: capacity) to work on the project. Talk is cheap, but we need to "walk the talk".
