In the Compare editor, the buttons for Next Difference, Previous Difference, etc. include both a yellow arrow and a blue delta symbol. The trouble is, the delta symbol also looks a lot like an up arrow. If you're anything like me, you have to think a bit to find the right button.

This may sound like a silly complaint, but it bugs me every time I use the Compare editor. Am I the only one?

Jacob, can you describe how would you like those icons to look like?

My suggestion would be to just use up/down arrows, maybe using different colors to distinguish "changes" from "differences". Similar to the ones used in the search results view.
