Some while ago, I have implemented a toolbar for ethereal (buttons for open, save, ...).

The "Print" toolbar button appears to be for the "Print Packet" operation; it should perhaps be for "Print", instead. (If not, the tooltip needs to be fixed to remove the "(s)" from "frame(s)".)

The tooltip for "Find Frame" should just say "Find frame" - you can search for raw text or raw hex data, as well as searching with a display filter.

Microsoft Network Monitor uses "CD player" buttons for starting and stopping captures, i.e. a triangle pointing to the right for "start", two parallel vertical lines for "pause" (I forget what pausing the capture does), a square box for "stop" (and a square box and pair of eyeglasses for "stop and view", but the "and view" is implicit in Ethereal). However, I infer from the EtherPeek NX data sheet that they might use the "new document" icon for starting a capture.
