Not sure this is in the right forum- my apologies if it isn't, and perhaps a moderator would move it. On these forums, there is an icon by each posting which looks a little like a loaf of bread, Unread postings have 'steam' rising from them, appropriately. Perhaps I'm getting too old, but I have to peer at the screen to distinguish between an old loaf and a steaming loaf. Could the icons be changed to something more obvious, such as a loaf in a red-hot oven?

As I see it these icons are round brown buttons with a white sheet of paper that is written on in the case of new posts. But I must agree, that the differences aren't very obvious. I would prefer a change into another colour, too. Or bigger icons. That would be more comfortable for our eyes. Two is the oddest prime.

Just do it the same way as its shown at the sub-forums: read: white, unread: yellow

I think it would be better with white and red. I tried to make an example. Because of my lack of experience with Gimp I remodelled it with Inkskape. That's why my icons look a bit different
So here they are in yellow (unread-colour from the subforums) edit: new paths set to images Edited: 2011-12-09, 14:35

The red one would stand out very well (as would a green or blue one)- I'm sure a simple colour change is all that is needed: no need for animation.
