[Feature request] Color incoming and outgoing calls #126

Closed ngocanhtve closed 3 months ago

ngocanhtve commented 4 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Incoming and outgoing calls are marked with different icons but are generally the same white color.

Describe the solution you'd like Color the incoming call icon differently from the outgoing call icon color.

Describe alternatives you've considered It's okay to just color the arrows in each icon differently.

Additional context The human eye distinguishes colors better than shapes. In this case, the shapes of the two icons are quite similar when the phone handle part is identical, the only difference part is the small arrow in the diagonal direction, making it more difficult to distinguish.

I do agree (and I remember I made lot of trial-and-error versions of that icons to find the smallest but clearer one 😉).

It's okay to just color the arrows in each icon differently.

I like this, but I need to implement it to work with both visual styles (light/dark).

I don't know if there's any "standard" color to use for in/out calls (i.e. in any other existing call log screen). I'd exclude some specific colors (like red/green that could lead user think of an error/ok status); do you have any ideas for the colors to use?

I just tried drawing it 😁

I recommend the color code of the default phone app of LineageOS, an extremely famous Android ROM.

I appreciate the effort 💪😂

I love that ROM, green/blue are OK for me... will try to change the icons

Done, I've colored the whole icon since coloring only the arrow gave an ugly effect. This is how it looks like:

You'll find the change in next version...
