Overall summary

Last update seemed to undo the change (improvement) related to the tray icon. It used to be a nice, monochromatic cholor scheme icon, which fits perfectly into Windows' app tray.

Now it's back to the old, un-fitting blue icon. Seriously, who's running UI design lately? Can anybody just do whatever they want with Signal's look and feel? If so, I'd be glad to be involved.

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to settings
2. Enable minimize to tray
3. See the blueish icon. With no option to choose between a monochromatic one or the most recent one

Expected result

It should be monochromatic! As it actually started to be a couple updates ago.

Actual result

It's a very non-fitting blueish icon.

It's the same on the KDE Plasma Desktop (Linux). I hate the blueish icon. It's the only color icon in my tray and it's just awful and distracting 🤢.

I was so happy, when you finaly introduced monochrome tray icon. Please give us the clean monochrome tray icon back! 🙏

The monochrome icon did not work very well, also see https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/7082

It seems the developers struggle figuring how to implement this properly.

Well, I already saw the #7082. Anyway, they could add it as an option in the settings instead of remove it completely 🤷‍♂️.

Hey, at least it worked for some users. Perhaps not priorizing those who had their uniform system color scheme settings was wrong? I really wonder who's deciding what to add and what to remove. I get that Signal is a free product, but it seems that these were all poor choices. Don't get me started on the new color on Signal's logo...
