Darrell, All,
In koffice, the font superscript/subscript buttons look 1/2 cut-off. The
remaining buttons look OK. It almost looks like they need a border added to make
them look like normal buttons. They just look out of place??

The files involved are:

pics/cr22-action-sub.png
pics/cr22-action-super.png
If there is any desire to improve these, I could attempt to update them,
similar to the attached versions of cr22-action-super.png
(I think I like the dark)

The buttons looks the same in 3.5.10. I'm not confused by the buttons, but perhaps a
border would help.

I added the bordered buttons to the koffice tool bar -- they look worse. I think
we need new super/sub buttons, but it will take entire new buttons. For now, the
current ones work, we will just leave them until we have a better replacement. I
just think the 1/2 'A' causes people to look and think "that doesn't look
right
-- what is it? Oh, it's superscript/subscript..."
We'll put this on the back burner...

Try something simple, like this:

Change the 1/2 "A" to a full lower case "a" and add the respective
sub/super script. No arrows, no cursor icon.

Don't use "x" as the base character. I copied the image from a well-known
proprietary app.
I like the idea of using a different color for the sub/super script character. The green
that is used in the "check mark" for the spell check button might be a good
choice that will blend with the basic toolbar color scheme.
