Regarding the rotate icon, perhaps making the arrow go just half a circle round or less (and maybe add a dot in the middle) instead of a full round like now might make it less reload-like? Just a thought. All reload buttons I've seen are nearly full-circle, since it's supposed to suggest a cycle. Rotation on the other hand I think becomes obvious as long as there is enough arrow to show that it's going around a circle.<br>
<br>And I like the rotate feature. New users I've shown it to so far liked it too. I think people like to tinker with things, as long as it doesn't get in their way. My hunch is a good number of people will be unhappy if we took off rotation.<br>

<br>
we se say cluter specialy how aron was saying it was I think we mentioned the<br>
way we have to hide usefull features in the mist of tons of uneeded ones.<br>
in this case its 4 litle options, wich is not hiding in any way the other more<br>
important options.<br>
