Description Raphaël Jakse 2019-07-02 13:35:37 UTC 
SUMMARY

When using Bluetooth for internet connection, the same icon is used for the network and the bluetooth manager. This is a bit confusing

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect to Internet using Bluetooth (shared from a phone, for instance)

OBSERVED RESULT

The network and the Bluetooth manager both get the same icon, the Bluetooth logo with a dotted line in the middle.

EXPECTED RESULT

The two managers should use a different icon so they can be distinguished.

Confirmed on 5.20.3, this needs improving, it shows two bluetooth icons. It would be nice if the internet connection one was differentiated to show that it is a network or internet connection for instance a globe behind the BT icon.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2020-11-19 23:57:42 UTC 
We will probably need a new icon too.
Comment 3 Martino Fontana 2022-06-26 21:11:23 UTC 
Still a problem on Plasma 5.25.

Use specific icon for shared bluetooth connection

The icon `network-wireless-bluetooth` represents better the
concept of network connection via bluetooth, and doesn't
get confused with the regular bluetooth icon.
