Description

This was discussed in various issues - this one can be used to track this request and post ideas.

Summary of the new feature/enhancement

The current icon that shows up in the system tray uses the PowerToys app icon. To feel as native as possible, it would be nice to use a black/white icon that are similar to system icons such as network, sound and network.

Proposed technical implementation details

An outlined version of the PowerToys icon will feel more native to the user. Some requirements:

  • Theme support (white with dark theme, black with light theme) (Must)
  • Should look very similar to the app icon so users recognize it (Must)
  • It could be used to show e.g. machine states (Could)

@Elttob made some nice concepts in #1118:

Monochrome:

Using the icon to display e.g. status:
