SUMMARY 1. They are too different from each other. It's not obvious that they are presenting the same app. 2. The main icon has a simpler outline, which better resembles a modern smartphone. 3. The gear in the tray icon hints that it's some kind of "configure" tool, which it's not. The kdeconnect tray icon is mainly used to control the phone, so it should just resemble a phone. (just like the printer tray icon resembles a printer, and the disks tray icon resembles a USB stick) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.90.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.246.0 Qt Version: 6.6.1 Kernel Version: 6.6.3-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: offscreen Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 5600H with Radeon Graphics Memory: 13.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics
kdeconnect-symbolic also has a gear. That's probably the major issue.
Yeah, the gear is the major issue. But also I feel that in the symbolic version, the "phone outline", with a small white bar at the top, doesn't look like a modern smartphone. The non-symblolic version, which is just a black box, is more like one.
