Interesting. Looks good (= Maybe a bit too complex for an Item though. More like a logo for a website or similar.

I made a .desktop laucher file and used system Icons for it. Looks pretty good too and changes with your icon pack:

@NA0341 why a lock?? That's correlated to security like Password or encryption apps. I don't see the context to reverse tethering at all.

The icon I made looks fine even if small: Bildschirmfoto 2024-02-26 um 19 58 40

@LeeBinder That's just an example. The symbol I used is for VPN's indicating a secure connection (network-vpn). Since Gnirehtet connects as a VPN Profile on Android to a server on Desktop via TCP with SSL/TLS encryption, it ofc is an encrypted connection that also pretends to be a VPN (at least on the Android side). Satisfied?

But that's not the point. My points are the issues with Custom Icons:

They tend to clash with UI designs of Desktops - and Themes have no Image for them
They may not scale well.
Modern Systems use Vector Graphics.
etc. pp.

That's why especially for something simple using already available icons is sufficient. After all the main purpose of an icon to tell applications apart without reading their name.
