Description Deepak Azad CLA 2010-10-20 02:34:06 EDT
Both icons have a small decorator on the top left indicating the action but the main icon is the same Search icon. I always have to look really closely to click the right button...

These icons should be same as the ones in Call Hierarchy view. (The same history button icon is also used in Type Hierarchy view)

Nope.
>(The same history button icon is also used in Type Hierarchy view)
This icon is JDT specific (the green dot for Java members).

==> we should use the standard refresh icon (the one with the two arrows).

ok.. is there a standard History icon ? If not maybe we should make the JDT specific one to be standard ? 

I dont really like the Search icon in the History button, but if we follow this paradigm on putting the view icon in the history button we should do the same in Call Hierarchy and Type Hierarchy views. Currently the icons are just inconsistent...

No. As said, the green dots refer to the public method icon.

The Team History icon also looks similar to the Search one and I agree with your inconsistency argument. However after years people got used to those icons and I see no point in changing well known icons at this point.
