Fast reactions to 2.7.8

[Dave H]

Geert,

I'm with Stan on this one - installed 2.7.? on another pc and it was one of
the few things I noticed apart from the tabs being wider and the font being
bigger :-(

FYI I currently have icons/labels on both Mac Hi Sierra and Windows 7 &
10.  From memory I don't think they show up on Ubuntu 17.04 - version
2.6.17 (?) from the getdeb repository and I don't think they are
toggle'able - I haven't found a setting to control it like other
applications.

Cheers Dave H.
