writer menubar -> edit in 6.2
exchange database and reference has an icon, cause the command was used in the toolbar, but than the commands are not that importend.

Writer -> Edit show at all commands an icon
the UI is more consistent but not that fast to read.
The MSDN guideline [1] says: Consider providing menu item icons for: * The most commonly used items. * Menu items whose icon is standard or well known. * Menu items whose icon well illustrates what the command does. Don't feel obligated to provide icons for commands that don't have a standard visualization. Cryptic icons aren’t helpful, create visual clutter, and prevent users from focusing on the important menu items. That makes a lot of sense as the use case of icons is primarily not being a visual candy but an eye-catcher for frequently used items. If we show an icon one every single item the user finds to visual attractor and gets rather disturbed. So a +1 to this change. The circumstance is covered in our HIG by the mentioned sentence. Question is, of course, what items are "most commonly used" and "well-known standards". But that's a detail question and better handled at the patch or per follow-up. [1] https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/controls-and-patterns/menus Andreas is changing the menus.
