2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

The problem with customisable selected state icons, is the inconsistency in the select state. Means it isn't always immediately obvious whether something is selected or not. WB 2.04+ added borders around the icons to resolve this. Most of the time you don't need them though, especially if people stick to the more modern GlowIcons style.
But otherwise, Workbench/Intuition did nearly everything right in terms of UI design. Close gadget nowhere near anything else you're going to click on, menus at the top (pointer constrained by the screen, makes it easier to get to the menus), windows that don't come to the front as soon as you look at them (makes it easier to rearrange windows the way you want them). If you want something full screen it can go on its own screen, and if something is multi window they can all be grouped together on their own screen.
