I have no qualifications or whatsoever to comment on the visual design,
so I will not be involved in any bike shedding but please note that the
patch here does not and cannot chose the symbol we are displaying. Being
pure CSS it only changes the default color and visibility of the symbol.
The symbol was part of the xslt modifications in the patch that I sent
to hackers and was commited in commit e2922702a3. If you really think
that changing the symbol is important or useful, you'll probably have to
carry the discussion back to hackers (maybe to the original thread).
