[Framers] FM 2017 Feature Request: Restore color and scaling to menu icons

[Victoria Muir]

Oooo. Personally I loathe the new Acrobat UI (and have complained to Adobe about it), hopefully they don't decide to go that direction for FrameMaker. 

Added my comments to FRMAKER-2449 too.

    I voted for FRMAKER-2449 too. I left the comment that FrameMaker has slavishly followed the Adobe Creative Cloud UI guidelines while being the only application in TCS to do so. RoboHelp uses a colourful MS ribbon interface while Acrobat and Captivate each follow their own unique UI styles. Then there's the Windows 2000 vintage style of Robo Screen Capture!

    Which is useful, thank you, but doesn't that mean you've just changed your settings for everything ELSE you use, too?
