Why not make the icon customizable, and offer several possible bitmaps to chose from? Hardcoding a single icon will always annoy someone.
Sure, we could make this customizable. What would be a good way to go about this? I see three options:
1) The status quo: users can already call (define-fringe-bitmap 'bookmark-fringe-bitmap ...) to make the icon whatever they like, though that obviously requires writing (or copy/pasting) Elisp.
2) Let `bookmark-set-fringe-mark' take a symbol for a bitmap to use for the mark (it currently takes a boolean). This would solve this immediate case, but not other similar cases. For example, what if a user wants to customize the fringe icons in diff-mode?
3) Provide a generic way to select what any fringe bitmap looks like. I'm not quite sure how this would be implemented, but it would then allow users to change the appearance of, say, the `left-curly-arrow' icon. (In the past, I've done this via (1) by just calling `define-fringe-bitmap' again.)
