Summary

From https://community.e.foundation/t/how-to-revert-e-ui-changes-to-vanilla-android-e-g-icons-under-settings/18645/3

New systen settings icons are littler, with more complex and less contrasted (white over a too bright color), and so less recognisable, shapes than before.

This improvement concerns

  • UI
  • Behavior
  • Privacy

Description

A quick look just gets a sequence of colors with no shape therefore no meaning.

A quick look should get each colored shape and so the eye could target the wanted line easily.

What does it bring?

Readability therefore efficiency when browsing settings.
