@ Rich, (and DropBox)
Appriciate that you were trying to clarify the current operation of the new styled system tray icon however I'm sure that most of us realised that already.
My gripe with the Dropbox team, and this is true of many other developers, is that changes to the function or display are often made a) without any notification and b) without an option to allow users to select a legacy experience. This causes issues if internal documentation or userguides are producced. The new advanced display isn't as obvious as the different shape/colour icons used previously and a slight greying of the same shape isn't clear especially if on the move in bright light.
I realise that the "improvement" is documented in your link above however I don't recall ever seeing a proactive notification about the change. I'm reminded of Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy when the Earth was about to be destroyed by the Vogons to make way for a new hyperspace bypass "All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now.":slight_smile:
Please DropBox - Bring back the GREEN TICK :white_check_mark: as an OPTION. Thank you
