Software menus are dropping icons by default
Original: No more icons in every menu by default
Web developer Jim Nielsen argues that filling every menu item with an icon by default has become poor design practice, contending that most menu icons add visual noise rather than clarity and should appear only when they genuinely aid recognition. The argument has struck a chord with designers and developers, many of whom agree that icon overload in modern interfaces has diluted the usefulness of icons in menus.
Why now: Debates over interface clutter and default design conventions are resonating with developers and designers right now.
