[Bf-funboard] Info Bar Suggestion

[Jeffrey]

I generally agree with Ton's argument of UI clutter, but I also like how 
you changed the icons for verts/faces/etc. I've always been a fan of 
simple/flat icons and this would satisfy the need for subtlety. However, 
this also means there are more icons to upkeep, potentially doubling if 
each icon were to be converted to a flat style. Maybe I could play with 
icon style locally during the summer. I'd need someone else to implement 
them, though, since I have /no/ python or C skills.
