Re: MIDKNIGHT MAEKS ICONS!
Uh.
Alright, personally not to my taste, fading is decent but the symbols are not terribly effective at conveying data and... I don't know, generic science fiction is wearing on me.
I would not have posted them at this size. When I do cursors and icons I try to show them off at ingame size(s).

so in conclusion:
- you failed completely at presenting your new icons
- the icons' suitability is uncertain
Please post things all at once, people will like them *more* that way.

Re: MIDKNIGHT MAEKS ICONS!
When I think of stop I think of the color red, and the shape that comes to mind has many sides, like, I dunno, a septagon or a nonagon.

Re: MIDKNIGHT MAEKS ICONS!
A big red hand would look like STOP.
Re: MIDKNIGHT MAEKS ICONS!
Stop and wait are both very different order states to all of the others. When viewing multiple unit's queued orders, it is useful to be able to instantly spot any orders that would directly impede them responding to an order/threat, or acting themselves, a good contrasting colour helps in that sense.
If a unit is firing and you tell it to cloak, even if you switch it to hold fire, it keeps it's target, thus breaking cloak. Stop overrides this, again having it highly visible helps imo. I realise that anybody with that level of competence will most likely be using the keyboard to set cloak and stop, but still...

I made a widget (in CA) that lets you bind a hotkey to holdfire,stop. It also lets you bind one to holdposition,stop.

Re: MIDKNIGHT MAEKS ICONS!
Also for the chili:
- icon to represent grip to move window around (crossed double sided arrows?)
- icon to represent grip to resize window (single diagonal double sided arrow?)
You can also suggest default coloring and border styles for chili.
But keep in mind that all controls are generaly resizable, so if you want to have say textured borders it has to be designed in resizable way (like corner section + repeated section + other corner section).

Sorry about the orange, it was the only color left for use. I may make red and green variants, though.
