Feature or improvement you want

Change the icon of the 'remove from inbox' icon to something more descriptive than the checkbox.

Why should this be added?

Having had a look at the swipe icons they all seem pretty obvious and/or standard. The one exception is using a simple tick “✓” for “Remove from inbox” as I don’t think this is obvious. Perhaps some thought could be given to an icon that more accurately reflects this action? Something like an inbox tray with a cross or a minus sign on it perhaps? Or maybe with a tick on it as that is more in line with the mindset of processing an inbox?

Leaving some ideas that i've come with

&penpot importable draft icons.zip

Thanks @zhoorba ! I like the inbox with check mark most.

Do you mind if i import it to our AntennaPod board & team in Penpot?

While I do like the one with the check mark as well, it is somehow inconsistent with the add/remove queue icons. These use cross/play icons in the lower right corner

Should we adapt them as well then?

[keunes]

Yeap, that'd be a good idea. @zhoorba would you be willing to redo that one as well?

Simarly, the mark as (un)player should probably be remade in the same vein. (I think I did one or two of them and they're not pretty 😅)

[vteeha]

Here. Also have added the stacked version

[keunes]

Thanks @zhoorba. That's the one for the Inbox screen, I think the question was if you'd be willing to make similar icons for the Played status and the Queue screen. (See screenshot in my previous post.)

(I don't think we need the stacked Inbox icon.)

something like that?

I like the inbox icon with a dash or a cross. Anything with a checkmark makes me stop to think about what this action does.

[ByteHamster]

Sorry for the late reply. We had a look at this again. It would be great to have more consistency between the icons, especially the fact that there is a filled circle. So we think it would be nice to have the filled circle like in your reply here but a similar version for the other icons as well. Something like this, sorry for the crude drawing :P

Some alternative view: if we are doing "Remove" while being in Inbox - it removes from Inbox if we are doing "Remove" while being in Queue - it removes from Queue

Maybe we can have the same icon?

This is a "context-based" action after all - and icons with one element are easier to understand than icons with two elements.

"Mark as unplayed" could look like this:
