Comment (by X512):

 Replying to [comment:3 zooey]:
 > Hm, if we'd follow that train of thought, we wouldn't do any
 localization in Haiku, as at least 90% of our users speak English anyway
 ...
 English Locale don't affect users that use other locale.

 > If the two icons look almost indistinguishable to someone, the actual
 purpose of the icon (to identify an application visually) gets lost. And
 if a different icon solves that, I'm all for it. Incidentally, I'm the
 maintainer of Pe and I happen to be red-green blind myself, and I find
 that the new icon for Pe makes them both much easier to identify.
 If so it's better to redesign icon and use concept other from pages and
 pencil to make Pe more distinguishable. Now current icon looks better.

 > Right, and the new icon is actually using different colors, which are
 more distinguishable for color blind people - I have no idea why you
 reject the new icon if you haven't even looked at it.
 Of course I have looked at it.
