Hi There! I noticed that the mobile internet icon is different in the on/off states. is it made on purpose? is it possible to make the same icon? I think the on state icon is more appropriate Screenshot_20221010-153825 Device: Pixel 6 oct security patch

Hi, this is/was indeed on purpose ... kind of

The original Android mobile data tile does not show any signal strength at all: it uses the double arrow icon for both on and off state. The original Android internet tile, when mobile data is on and wi-fi is off, does show the signal strength and falls back to a globe icon when data is off and wi-fi is off.

My implementation follows the behaviour of the original Android internet tile, where it only shows the signal strength when mobile data is turned on, but I'm actually more inclind to go the route of the original mobile data tile where it doesn't show the signal strenght at all. This information is already available in the statusbar anyway.

Either way, I'm a bit scared of changing it at this point because users might already have grown accustomed to the current visualisation ... Ideally the user would be able to configure this, which is something I have tought about already, but this would take quite some time to implement and I have not yet started with this.

Happy to hear more opinions though!
