+/- buttons to be more prominent and more like tickbox buttons

People often miss the + and - icons in various parts of VP. It doesn't help that they're so small and hard to distinguish between for many people, especially as they don't change colour or shade but very often the background of the row changes colour because it's been clicked on. Also it's easy to mis-click and the click puts a TICK in the row instead of changing + to -, so people can think they've selected it - but they haven't.

Couldn't the + and - icons be made the same size as a tickbox, and couldn't the + and - symbols be shown in white on top of a dark colour (+ on dark red meaning 'unselected', and - on dark green meaning 'selected').

Personally, I'd prefer to get rid of the +/- icons altogether and make them all standard tickboxes, but the above is what I would accept as a compromise.

Also, it would be good to be able to swipe over multiple selection icons and have them all select/unselect according to the state of the first one clicked/swiped over (like in mobile apps).
