Am I the only one (locker difference betwet ON and OFF)?

The difference between a Locker ON and OFF are:
Black / Grey ——> I do not care the color (I do not see the difference)
2 pixels… —— Can’t you dran it at 45° to the left ?
(at 72 dpi or 4 pixels at 144 dpi)
And that is when the graphics is displayed…

OK, this is cosmetic, but when I want to know, I have to take a magnifying glass…

OK, youngsters can recognize the state on ablink of an eye, but we are mostly oldsters here (> 40) where the contrast have to be important (between the text color - locker here - and the background color).

Remember: fashion (or mobile) can be wrong.

I’ll second this. More than once I’ve had to click this little icons on-and-off to figure out their state. More contrast would be welcome.

Create an item in Issues and list it here. Encourage people to vote for it, I would.

Made this on Inkscape, change as needed
locks.zip (2.7 KB)

I love the icon, visible enough once reduced, I think.

BTW: Rick Icons are nice too (too colorful, but different enough !).

You asked a “contrast”, sooo… :man_shrugging: Those icons mix 3 concepts at once, design (locker closed/open), color (red/gren for a locked or free) and check sign (checked locked, not checked free). Most visual impairments covered, except myopia with color blindness and no glasses. :melting_face:

Four clicks fix this

I love it too; the Open drawing can have more white, but Grey Open / Black Locked with the x and √ all good !

PS: if they change something, they will do à la Xojo (NIH Syndrom)

They use SFSymbols on the Mac and Bootstrap icons on Windows and Linux. I’ve added details of the padlock elements from both those sources to the feedback job.

This is how Filemaker shows it, which I think is superior to a simple on-off icon:

Note the lines that reinforce the relationship between the object and its container. Also notice that the curved part of the lock swivels away from the body of the lock; this is a much better, higher visual contrast way to differentiate the two.
