Odd drive Icon

SUMMARY

There is an "odd" (i.e. differs from the others) drive icon in the devices section. Look closely and there is, for lack of a better description, a forward slash and underscore in the centre of the icon.

Shown third icon down in attached screen-shot, labelled as 32G-HDD-*

Is that intentional, and if so what does it attempt to signify?


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. N/A --- Simply look at the drive icons.
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
An "odd" icon.

EXPECTED RESULT
That depends upon whether the "odd" icon is intentional... ;)

Comment 2 Julian Steinmann 2019-07-03 19:13:44 UTC
The "odd" icon is indeed intentional - it signals that this is the drive that contains the root folder ("/"). This might not be important to some users, but can be very helpful for others, which is why we will not change it. Sadly, it's very hard to come up with a easily understandable icon in such limited space, and I think the Breeze designers did a good job on this one despite the constraints.
Comment 3 Paul 2019-07-03 19:22:55 UTC
Doh!  / == root  rather missed that one didn't I :)

Incidentally I wasn't suggesting it should be changed.

Thanks for the explanation.
