Bring back the green 'synced' checkmark in the system tray.

100% agree - the green tick is so much easier to see than a slight change in shading of the icon.

Yes, please bring back the checkmark/tick. I also thought my dropbox was broken and keep having to check to make sure it's in sync. I have decent vision but even against a dark toolbar, I can barely tell the difference between offline and synced. This is most disconcerting and it's not a useful change at all. 

Hello. This is my first post here, although I've used Dropbox for several years. I did not even visit this forum until today. I'm here because, like many others replying on this topic, without the green tick I thought my Dropbox had failed to load today, or that something else must be wrong. Having wasted a lot of time, and still shaking my head in disbelief that changes like this are not notified in advance, I can only repeat what nearly everyone else is saying: please bring back the green tick! 

Hello

the main reason to use a system like dropbox is that you are visually sure that your file is instantly uploaded

the green 'synced' checkmark in the system tray will confirm it , no way to doubt

just a slight change in the shading of the icon is not remarkable and does not help at all !

Use a green icon if you want or please, please bring back the green 'synced' checkmark in the system tray again

thanks

Hi Dropbox,

I spent ages trying to figure out why the green tick had disappeared, before I ended up here.

Before: A quick glance and I see a green tick, and I'd know instantly all is well.

Now: I'm constantly worrying that Drobbox has disconnected, and having to squint at the Notification Area icon to see if I can tell whether it's white or slightly-less white.

What a monumentally daft change this is!

I've long been thinking that it might be worth a switch to OneDrive but... inertia. However, I'm getting ever closer to that moment when I've had enough, and poor UI choices like this (not to mention your appalling new website design) aren't likely to persuade me to stay.

I think this is pretty much your last chance at retaining my $100/year. Bring back the green tick!

Thanks.

Scott.

I seriously thought Dropbox was offline or broken since I had changed ISP providers yesterday too.  I figured they couldn't get the internet right and broke Dropbox too, just to make my day  a little worse!   This is really not pretty and difficult for old eyes to tell if it's really up to date without hovering over the icon with a mouse.  

Please make it a setting.

For me personally the green checkmark (or any overlay to the icon) meant: network connection okay.

Seeing no overlay meant to me: your network connection is lost. So I was quite confused, until I found out that it is changed on purpose.

Please bring it back!

It cant be so difficult to change it back...or at least let us have the option to choose between the new and the old tray icons.

Just noticed that i use TeamViewer and it also use a green "marker" in the tray icon, to indicate that everything is "OK"

Please Dropbox, please listen to some of your best customers and don't let us down.

For every one who replied in this community, there are 100 users or more that does not take the time to express their frustrations.

As someone wrote earlier, it's just like when Microsoft removed the "StartMenu" in Windows 8

= the worst decision ever...

Plz

I was also confused so much I ended up here. Luckily found this, since a change like this is troubling. You never know, is it synched or is there some error. 

Anyway, I like the colored checkmark a lot more then the grey-out. Please bring back the CHECKMARK 
in the system tray to indicate when fully syncronised. Thank you.

Jeroen.
