From an accessibility perspective it isn’t safe to rely solely on colors. There should be something in the icon to differentiate by shape for those that may be color blind.
What about:
* Table with green plus sign for inserts
* Table with blue spinning refresh arrows for updates

Insert Update Delete Foreign Scan Index Only Scan BitmapAnd BitmapOr Values Scan (shows up as a Seq Scan) LockRows
I've recently made icons for DML, just for fun, so if no professional designer engages in, I could give it a try. Existing node icons are perfectly styled and have some ideas and logic put into them. I'm not sure I understand that fully. If there were some public discussions on existing node icons, please point them out!
My thoughts on new icons: * DML: a pencil and a table with few blocks coloured (red=delete, orange=update, green=insert). Attached ex_update.png for example. Not sure about black crosses in the blocks. * Foreign Scan: like ex_cte_scan.png, but with "FDW" label on a table. * Index Only Scan: like ex_scan.png, but a binary-tree-like structure of blocks instead of a table. * BitmapAnd, BitmapOr: two lists of randomly chosen small "1"/"0", with "and"/"or" between the lists. * Values Scan: like ex_scan.png, but just several separate blocks instead of a table. * LockRows: like ex_update.png, but with a padlock instead of a pen.
Please share your opinions and ideas.
Seems fine to me. So, yeah, go ahead.
By the way, I couldn't find out, what a Seek node is and how to get it into a plan.
No idea. Didn't even know that this node existed at all.
