Re: eye-icon

[vwf <vwf vulkor net>]

This window can be confusing. One improvement can be the use of two
icons for active/off (gray-out), instead of switching an icon on/off.

In that same window the arrow-icon on/off remains a confusing event for
me: when I select a layer, other icons switch on/off in respons.

Finally, it can be very hard to find out on which layer an item is. No
problem with two layers, but my current diagram has 6 and when I placed
an item on the wrong layer it requires some layer on/off switching to
find out on what layer it went.

But I use dia about every day: not a bad tool at all ;)
