Description Jin Liu 2023-12-03 02:18:46 UTC
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)

kdeconnect-symbolic also has a gear. That's probably the major issue.
Comment 2 Jin Liu 2023-12-05 00:59:33 UTC
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.
