Feature description

The date next to the icon for missed calls is currently red, making it poorly visible on dark themes. It would be better if the dates were always displayed in white (or black for light themes) and the icons were colored: red for missed calls (which is how it is now), green for outgoing calls and blue for incoming calls.

Why do you want this feature?

Adding colored icons would improve visibility.

Additional information

I noticed in closed issues that someone demanded an update of the icons (this was marked as wontfix). In my opinion, the current icons are fine. But it would be nice if they were colored.

And make the arrows a bit bigger, please.

I would even vote again for using a bit more prominent icons...it's really hard to distinguish in-coming vs out-going calls!

Since we have a limited screen real state, we'll go with 'pure' arrows. Just like in Google Phone.

I would still color the text but adjust it for a proper contrast ratio. I bet some people (looking at me) just rely on the text color rather than the icon.

~~Sounds tempting on paper but this just increases visual clutter (with or without colored text) and makes it harder to distinguish between incoming/outgoing/missed calls. I'm just going to replace the existing icons with arrows and adjust the missed call color for better visibility.~~

The text view had alpha set to 60%, that's why the colors looked crappy. It looks fine now:

It'll be available in the next update.
