st: Re: doeditor run and do icons

[Kit Baum <baum@bc.edu>]

This was clear in Stata 9. In Stata 10, the -run- and -do- icons are  
virtually indistinguishable. If I look very closely I can see some  
very faint lines on the right-hand (do) icon, but for all intents and  
purposes they look like two of the same, as they both have this big  
green arrow covering most of the page. Not a good visual reference,  
and one which I hope StataCorp will rethink.

Stata 10 for Mac OS X.
