Thanks for the hard work.
For the "cutting" icon , I think it's perfect.
For the "color" icon, it's IMO easy to understand, but I wonder if using a paint palette wouldn't be a more universal symbol.
For the "transform" icon, I think using the "transform manipulator" as a symbol would be easier to catch for user community.

Thx for the hard work. For Transform, could you give a try by increasing the size of the "3 arrows symbol" so it occupies more space (IMO it's not a problem if the pencil overlay the top of it).

For default mode, could you give a try with the pencil and a grey checkmark -- something like : Image

Looks good, could you provide the icons as SVG so they are integrated.
Any method is fine. You can post them here, or make a PR to my branch https://github.com/0penBrain/FreeCAD/tree/UserEditMode , or even directly to master. ;)
I'll update the wiki if you can't do so.

While uploading the images for the Wiki I noticed that "Std_EditModeDefault.svg" should be named "Std_UserEditModeDefault.svg". For some reason the name an SVG file is included in the file (in this case 2x). This is a bit awkward when you have to rename such a file. Is there a way to avoid that?

In any case it's better IMO to wait that I do the PR and it's merged before updating the wiki.

Funny you should say that. The wiki page was created a bit prematurely perhaps... by you... with wrong icons... with wrong names... Yep, it could have been handled more efficiently... :mrgreen:

Wiki page was created a few hours after PR was merged. With icons as they currently are. Nothing funny there. :|
