Created attachment 184030 [details] Concept art. DESCRIPTION The Clipboard allows users to clean it without opening it by using the Context Menu, however there is no visual indicator for an empty clipboard, which would be useful in case you forgot if you cleaned or not. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have a vague memory that you cleaned the Clipboard, but not when. 2. Verify if the clipboard is empty without interacting with it. OBSERVED RESULT It's impossible. You have to at minimum clean it with the Context Menu, which requires two clicks and can develop a bad habit. EXPECTED RESULT A blank/unwritten clipboard icon would confirm if it is clean or not.

Just like the Wi-Fi icon, it could also use its five lines to represent each copied line of text when they're a few.
You're right clearing history is for privacy reasons, but that doesn't mean having an entry or not tells you anything meaningful. 99.9% of the time you're copying non-private things. I don't think this is is going to be useful for improving any workflow.
