Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:517 mvirkkil]:
 > The button for lighting up the keyboard is slightly below the screen to
 the left. A quite similar icon is found on the spacebar of the b1 units. I
 was told that these icons are similar because they perform the same action
 (light up the keyboard).

 The button on the brick is for turning on/off the backlight. The button on
 the keyboard (left side of the space bar) is for turning on/off the
 keyboard light.

 > The image on the spacebar doesn't look the same as the one left of the
 screen. They differ in orientation, proportions and style. The icons
 should be exactly the same. The current symbols differ to such a degree
 that even an experienced user will not necessarily recognize them as the
 same symbol.

 Since these buttons have two very different functions, perhaps the problem
 is that they are too similar rather than too dissimilar.
