Scratch-blocks: Why is the custom procedure editor's remove-input/label button a "no" sign?

[towerofnix]

I'm just curious - I would expect to see an X mark.

My opinion: X marks are associated with closing things, but also with crossing things out. "No" signs (like the one used in the screenshot above) are more related to halting, preventing, disabling; but not really removing. Maybe scissors are the most intuitive? (I suppose you could argue that scissors are related to cutting things out, to be used later (think: cut, paste), but I'm thinking of cutting the input off (think: remove), which is also the way Scratch 2.0 uses scissors (i.e., the Delete tool).)

Not that this is necessarily a great option, but a trash-can icon is sometimes used to mean deleting something too

I agree; I didn't realize what the cancel sign did or even that it was a button. It looked like it was indicating that there was some error with that input field.

Great question. We should update that icon.

Here is a trashcan icon: delete-arg.zip

Adding the help wanted label if anyone would like to take this on. 😄
