Hi.
Maybe it's just me, but I think there's no configuration in org-mode to
use the emacs (23) toolbar icons/buttons, for basic actions in org.
I think it may be helpful for emacs noobies mainly, to have such icons
available when in org mode.
I'd think of a capture icon, an agenda icon, and maybe moving arrows to
rework the outline, for instance...
I'm not sure how hard this would be to add... and there's probably
someone smart that already tried it... however couldn't find any past
reference.
My collegues are somehow interested by org sometimes, but thend to be
afraid by the use of complex key presses (yeah, they haven't been
enlightened by the beauty of the Emacs, yet ;)
What do you think ?
Best regards,

I think this might be a good idea. I have my toolbar turned off,
but I would not object against a few toolbar entries for Org. Please
make a patch!
Richard Moreland did some research into open source icons we might
be able to use.

Hi Olivier,
The icons I have been using in MobileOrg are from Glyphish[1]. I
don't know how they would look in a toolbar, but they are nice and
simple. I also checked out icons from the Tango Project[2].
Hope this helps,
Richard
