About the button icons:
When I designed the mockup for a similar-to-now Large mode, (I ought to get a bit more credit for that) I only doubled the main panel and main bar at the top leaving not a whole lot of room for actual text rather than icons. The icons are indeed my design and I would actually agree that changing the page button icons to text is a good idea.
At the time, (almost?) everyone liked my mockup design. (Though it is quite different now from my original design.) Why didn't you complain about it 2 years ago-- when I made that mockup-- Revfan?
I find the command buttons extremely helpful for taking care of under combos and secret combos quickly. The menu really slows you down.
