Usability: Clearer toolbar icons

In the default toolbar of XnView, some of the icons are not that clear.

- Crop (see separate topic Scissors for CROPping).

- Rotate left / Rotate right / Undo
Currently, the toolbar icons for rotation and Undo are in red colour. This is a bit irritating. "Undo" should have a different colour.

- Properties
The icon/symbol for properties is hard to recognize. The info symbol "(i)" for information would be more meaningful (see Mezich skin).

Yes, right. But I think Pierre's plan was to keep the current skin till version 1.99.999 and change with version 2.0. This may still take a while...

Yes, that will be fine... I don't mind either way.
It takes me about 10 seconds to change toolbars :)
