  Hi Devs,

 There are two different standards on the action icon usage in the LiveTable:

  - with icon + text
  - only with icon

 The main problem is the lack of consistency.

 Please vote on three versions:
 Var 1 : Icon + Text
 <http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Standards/ActionIcons#var1>
 Var 2 : Just
Icon<http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Standards/ActionIcons#v…
 Var 3 : Icon +
Legend<http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Standards/ActionIcons…

I'd normally vote for 1 but taking into account smaller screen I'm
also +1 for var 3.
According to "Don't make me think" var 2 should be prohibited since it
forces users to think.
Tooltips are very bad for the same r'eason.

So +1 for either 1 or 3 but -0 for 2 and Guillaume's option with
tooltips (we can have tooltips but in addition to something more
visible).

Thanks
-Vincent
