“2 decades is quite a long time for something visual to remain the same.”

Which increases my chance of identifying the icon at a glance considerably, since most apps I use have either not existed for 20 years, or have had multiple logo changes in that time.

All this change just means I am effectively icon blind in most computing situations, which is a real annoyance and hindrance to productivity




You are free to change the icon back locally if it’s really that much of a hit to your productivity.


I was speaking a bit more generally; this is an additional straw added to an overburdened camel, if you care for an analogy.

That is something I could probably do in KDE, which I enjoy for it's configurability. Thank you for the kind suggestion


This is not something that most users can reasonably do, especially for mobile.
