Bug description

Status icon for NextCloud client located in Finder Bar on MacOS is rendered in such a manner that it is no longer useful.
The contrast between Nexcloud-blue and an even smaller green check mark is indistinguishable for icons primary purpose, i.e. quick glance of status.

OLD VERSION

NEW VERSION

Both are from Macs on ~2K Resolution.

Steps to reproduce

1.Install the latest version of the Nextcloud desktop client for MacOS
2.
3.

Expected behavior

A user should be able to quickly glance at the sync icon and determine the actual status without squinting or needing a magnifying glass.

Hello,

for macOS I recommend to switch in the settings to the monochrome setting.
the checkmark received a reduced priority because OK is assumed as the default. The priority of the client is to alert in case of issues. without alert, there is not need for a distraction

So then don't upgrade in order to avoid ensh!tification. Gotcha. Assuming the desires of end users and then ignoring their actual use case feedback. Such is the state of software 'development.'

Tell me why I am supposed to be upset when AI puts arrogant non responsive devs out of work?
Thanks for nothing.

Hello,
there has been a design decision behind this. before there was even no "ok" flag and user feedback got this change.
So yes, community is taken into account very much.
But I also need to manage expectations. There is no point in keeping the ticket open if there is no plan to change it.

Design reflects USER needs not Dev desires. ANYTHING that results in MORE clicks (Waffle Menu) to accomplish the same task and altering designs that worked as-is for a decade+ make for a POOR User Experience.

I would LOVE to see the 'user feedback' that championed changing a simple FUNCTIONAL green checkmark to a Branded logo with microscopic checkmark? Do you have a link to this 'user feedback/community input' thread???

Your initial reply stated 'it was assumed' i.e. acted upon without user feedback. Now your most recent reply states: "user feedback got this change" so which is it? ASSUMPTION or USER FEEDBACK?

The WORKFLOW: USER needs -> met by development not Dev Desires > Users deal with unwanted & unrequested changes.

If you want to deliver an excellent product & experience, the former is what you follow. The latter of course is the more common scenario in the wild.

I have no personal animosity towards you as a human. My aggravation stems from every upgrade making the product worse, more bloated, and 'redesigned' for absolutely no good reason.

The CONSEQUENCE of this chronic ignoring user feedback and making changes NO one ASKED for facilitates precisely the outcome feared by devs: Simply ask Claude to restore the icon to its pre 'redesigned' actual functional state.

making changes NO one ASKED for

and what makes you think that?
Do you want to make a guess on how many active users the Desktop Client has? Then compare that to "no"? :-)
