[Inkscape-user] layer icons

Howdy. I'm very pleased by the introduction of a layer window. Will help greatly to manage more complex artwork.

I noticed however the button icons are quite poor in doing what they should - being easier to distinguish than text labels. They all include the rectangle signifying "layer". But the fact that this element appears on evey single one of them makes it nothing but visual noise.

I suggest simplifying those icons to the core of what they are trying to say. Use distinguishable silhouettes, color. An image is worth more than my poor writing:

Having said all that, I don't think the metaphor for delete you see on the mockup is particularly strong.
