You have a point, altho not completely correct. Among the icons on my
KDE screen,
the Package Manager looks like a wrapped parcel, two CD icons (K3b and
Brasero)
sort of look like CDs, KCalc looks like a pocket calculator, sort of,
KPatience card
games looks like playing cards. And Thunderbird, while showing a letter,
has it
wrapped in a wig that covers where ears would be. Is that supposed to be
feathers?
Anyway, one gets used to the image associated with a given app--much better
than have every app look like a manila folder--thanx to Microsoft for
that! Even they
realized their error rather quickly.
