Dropbox StaffHello,
I'm hoping to shed some light on this.
This build includes a change to the Dropbox icon in the system tray to include the new logo and a new behavior. When everything's synced, you'll now see a solid Dropbox icon without a checkmark on both Windows and Linux. This behavior has already been in place on Mac.
We are hoping to have messaging within the app about this change once this is available in the stable build.
Thank you!
But what is the difference now between the start up icon (solid icon, no checkmark) while it is 'starting' and 'connecting' and the synced icon (also solid, with no checkmark) when everything is 'up to date'?
These 2/3 states are very different (and it quite often gets stuck on 'connecting') but the icon for them is visually identical?
It sureley defeats the whole object of that icon if you have to hover over it to find if if anything is wrong?!

Hello,
When it is connecting or starting up the Dropbox icon will show as a faded color rather than the solid white or black color.
The new Dropbox tray icon states are documented here: https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/sync-icons
Please bring back the "Up-to-Date"-Tick.
Green or Black-And-White doesn't care, but please bring it back!
That's not the case on my build, as far as I can tell there is no difference between connecting and up to date.
