A confusing icon on "DNS66" 's UI
@julian-klode
Hello, I found a problem with the app's UI design. At first sight, the widget on the left of every item looks like a "shield". It may be difficult for me to imagine the function behind it without noticing explanations above. It looks just like a decorative icon. And I think this icon is different from the common "shield" icon I saw in other popular apps. Some users may misunderstand what you mean. So just as a suggestion, if you can design a more intuitive icon, it may greatly improve the user experience. Could you fix this issue?
So you want the dev to add colors? I could see how that could help.
🟡 Clear shield means info is ignored. 🔴 Checkered means it's blocking/denied. 🟢 Checkered with Slash is permitted/allowed.
I use mine this way.
I mean, there's a reason there is an explanation of the icons at the top. Presenting this tri-state nicely and concise is hard. I try to avoid colors because (a) I can't draw and (b) it's not going to be useful for people who can't differentiate red, orange and green, so I might make things less accessible as I can differentiate them
