The insert and delete row/column icons have arrows that suggest the movement of the surrounding data rather than the selected object (row or column), which would be highlighted. Please consider following that convention to show the action on the selected object, similar to the attached (rows & column.PNG).<br>

Just to be clear. So it's not so much the use of arrows, but that the specific object affected (a row, a column) is not highlighted clearly in the icons? <font color="#888888"><br></font></blockquote><div><br>With 2 tones of gray, light and dark, (over the black background and white outline), I have trouble instantly identifying which is the highlight. In the delete case, if there is a highlight, it would seem to be the outer elements, so that suggests the darker gray is the highlight.<br>
I may be confused because the row or column that I highlighted in the sheet usually takes on a darker shade, while the center row or column in the icon is lighter.<br> It requires me a lot of thought to work out a logic that overcomes what appears to be a dissonance between the subject and action of the arrow and my perception of the intended action.<br>
<br>Thanks again Gary, hope that helps, --Fred<br> <br></div></div><br>
