Bring back the old notification bar icons #97

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install 0.17.3b
2. Add and save some tasks due today or tomorrow.
3. An icon is shown in the notification bar.

What is the expected output? 
Old style icon (used in 0.16.2b for example), Moloko logo
https://code.google.com/p/moloko/logo?cct=1359294473

What do you see instead?
A check-mark ✓ with numbers.

IMHO, the old style icon is far more distinguishable as "Moloko". The 
difference between blue bg (due) and red bg (overdue) makes more sense than 
check mark (due) and clock (overdue). Please consider bringing them back.

The icon design for Moloko was changed to conform to the official Android icon 
design guidelines.

See

ar.html

I think it is important for the icons to integrate seamless into the OS style. 
This is not only true for the stock ROM but also for ROMs customized by third 
parties. Otherwise, it could be possible to choose an icon color that is not 
good visible if the status bar is styled in a custom way. If adhering to the 
standard style guides, third parties have a clear scenario what they have to 
support.

However, I could think about a setting to change the icon style afterwards.
