Similar to Bug 551494 we should continue to improve your usability and look and feel.

Ideas:

* Shorter text
* Better icons
* Improved theming
* Less popups
* Nicer tabs
* Better dark theme
* Better light theme

我觉得所有图标都应该替换成现代扁平化风格的图标。看看NetBeans(https://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb113/index.html) 最新版为引入扁平化look and feel做出的努力：https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+11.3，而且它们也打算替换图标：

而Eclipse呢，换个漏斗形状的Filter都磨磨蹭蹭两年时间。还说Eclipse比其他IDE省电，还觉得Eclipse使用的GTK比Intellij IDEA使用的Swing和系统更加协调，我真的服了，如果Eclipse的外观更好的话，为什么越来越多的人转向了Intellij IDEA? Eclipse在Windows下真是丑的不行。

Is it worth attaching the umbrella Bug 497562 to this one as well?
