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.
We will probably need a new icon too.
Still a problem on Plasma 5.25.

Git commit 50b22608329692b6678c1057736f188977474030 by Ismael Asensio. Committed on 05/08/2023 at 14:58. Pushed by iasensio into branch 'master'. 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.
