Any decision on this yet?

I've been sneaking at other "groupware"-suites and although very few of them
come close to the quality of Horde (IMHO, of course), one thing that they
seem to share is their thoughts on user interface design. Many of them either
have larger icons, or allow for larger/more complex icons.
