      XF2.x: Enhance categories/attachments selection in overlay: Change +/- elements to iconic checkboxes (plus two other related suggestions)

      1) Add attachments to page & Add page to categories overlays currently use +/i icons for vw-search-add/vw-search-remove for the vw-search-the list. I think XF 2.x looking checkboxes would be more appropriate here (and consistent with XF). To be honest I am not a fan of using the +/- icons to represent select/deselect, particularly since the 'expand folder' image also includes a small +. Clicking the folder + performs a completely different action to the other other + icon (not a bug, but let's just remove the potential confusion ).

      Please view the two attachments (one original, one edited) to better understand the change that I suggest. 'Selected row' colours used are just examples. The selected row checkbox color is the mutedTextColor property and the background is the inlineModHighlightColor property (which, despite its name, is exposed to general users in some places such as XFMG for managing own media content).

      Some of this may also be relevant to books and their chapters, plus wiki content integration.

      2) Additionally, when results are (optionally) grouped by prefix/area/category, then perhaps the current folder expanded/collapsed folder icon images could be replaced with FontAwesome chevron icons (up/down), just like XF2.x does with its categoryList-toggler element (see core_categorylist.less). A public example of the categeryList-toggler is the XFMG category list (Test media): https://xenforo.com/community/media/.

      3) "Select All Results" checkbox could also be switched to the iconic version.

      EDIT: Regarding selected row example colors: One reason for choosing inlineModHighlightColor for the selected row background and textColorMuted for the selected checkbox is that these two colors are already used together in the XF postbit (less chance of these colors clashing in custom styles, you'd hope!)

      EDIT 2: Edited screenshot incorrectly refers to muted text color property as @xf-mutedTextColor. The property should be @xf-textColorMuted.

      1) In XenForo 2.x, changed the +/- elements to iconic checkboxes.

      2) In XenForo 2.x, changed the organize groupings to use chevrons.

      3) In all platforms, changed the Select All element to match the +/-/etc.

      These changes are effective in the next release.
