The correct way to fix this would be to leave the #ifdef in place and
put m_useIconsInMenus in the Read() setting function as the default so
the correct default value is used the first time kicad is run. Your
change makes off the default for all platforms which doesn't fix the
underlying issue. I
Doesn't matter to me (although I personally always turn them off). I was
just pointing out that the code didn't appear to work as it was intended to
on macOS and provided an alternative.

Do we really need to change the default? All this will do is change
which group of users complains about the default setting. The reason we
changed this is that some users wanted the menu bitmaps even on
platforms where it is recommended not to use them. I just don't see any
benefit to making th

While personally I won't use icons in the menus if that option is available
to me, I can see why someone would like to use them.
I can see it being useful to identify actions visually, but with that in
mind, I can't understand why having icons and reusing them on different
functions would help any
I personally (as a user) find the icons visually more intuitive. Specially
for newcomers and better adoption of KiCad.
I know it's out of some guidelines, but this is a very complex software.
My feeling is that it's better with a "on" by default setting, as long as
people already used to the soft
Hi,
Sorry to bring this up again, but for me icons are still enabled by default
on macOS (and Windows unsurprisingly). I deleted /Library/Application
Support/kicad, ~/Library/Preferences/kicad and /Applications/Kicad,
reinstalled from most recent nightly (07-Sep-2017) and the icons were there

Simon,
I committed your patch since osx expects the icons to be disabled by

this is only a single #ifdef to default it to off as osx has been as

I thought the reason that we added this option is so that users could
choose if they wanted to show the icons in menus. I seem to remember
from the original discussion that some of our osx users didn't like the
fact that they were compiled out of osx builds. Do we really need to
add the ugly #if
