This is the correct opinion have. The text "Del" conveys the same meaning as a trash can and uses less space. >The more icons we have to scan over, the more brain power we put toward making sense of them rather than using the tools they represent While we're talking about brains, it's my personal theory that the monochrome icons like those in the screenshots are the bane of all GUI design. Humans were born with the ability to see all colors (that humans can see). Limiting icons to a single color effectively restricts the ability of the icon to convey visual information. If each icon was a distinctive color, we wouldn't even need to look at their shape.
