http://drupal.org/node/27754
Post a follow up: 
http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/27754

 Project:      Drupal
 Version:      4.6.2
 Component:    base system
 Category:     tasks
 Priority:     normal

 Updated by:   Bèr Kessels
 Status:       patch

I have to admit that I am with kobus in this. I really think teh work
you did is very nice. But I think replacing information with icons is a
bad thing. Icons can be used next to that information, o enhance it, not
replace it.

Attached screenshot of admin/user..


You can also see in these 3 screenshots how inconsistent the UI is..
(The 'Status'-columns are on all of the screenshots on another place.)
But, that has to be another patch..

Reuploading screenshot of admin/user.. Some people could open the
previous one, which was likely a fault on my site...


Enjoy the screenshots!!!

I am sorry to say, but this is not very good (well done, but not
effective...). For me, "Published" and "Active" is not equal to
"checkmark". I see checkmark. What does it mean? Same with "Not
published" and "Blocked". The red X will make users panic. What is
wrong with this thing? Why this red X on my screen?
