Minor cosmetic issue: Loading icon on taskbar looks ugly, I think it should be yellow instead of green-red. #4087

Issue report

Operating system: Windows 10, the one with the taskbar you know.

App version: It doesn't really matter, this icon is used in all versions as far as I know. Plus you'll judge me for not updating for a long time.

Issue description

While the client is trying to connect, it will display this icon on the taskbar: https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/blob/master/gui/assets/images/menubar%20icons/win32/lock-10.ico

This looks very ugly to my eyes, a red dot inside green. It would be more aesthetically pleasing and better convey the meaning of the icon if it was the red unlocked lock icon, except yellow. So copy the red unconnected icon, change the hue to yellow, rename to lock-10.ico and replace. Possibly the easiest fix this repository has ever seen. If you have a better idea than yellow lock, just do it. Anything but red dot inside green.

I already emailed the support team about this think you can make the patch before they even see my e-mail?

Sorry to all the Bangladeshis out there.

We support monochromatic icons. So each state needs to have a different shape, not just different colors.

faern commented 2 years ago

If you do not like the colors, I suggest you enable the monochromatic mode in the settings.

fine whatever i'll have to compile it myself and change the lock
