Icon Meanings

movinrad

Is there a list of icons for Graphene on Pixel 6a, and what they mean?

Thanks!

movinrad what exactly do you mean? Like a list of what apps come on the OS when you install it?

Hello, and thanks for looking at my query.

No, I have managed to install Graphene successfully on my Pixel 6a, and there are icons on the very top line that change, regularly. There's an icon with 9 small squares in a square pattern, a cube, a circle with a + sign in the middle, and the signal strength meter has an exclamation point in it.

Thanks for your help

You're wanting to know what the status bar icons are.
The cube is for sandboxes google play.
Here is a link with others

Some apps will use their app logo if you have a notification from them as well. The Attestation app places the shield as an example.

movinrad yes, as @c86 said, those are your status notifications. So battery, WiFi, mobile network strength, VPN (if connected) are all displayed on the top right side while anything on the left top side is from a notification, such as SMS, Auditor, among other apps that send notifications. Swipe down on the home screen to view them

c86 Thanks a lot for the link! Explains many icons already.
However, I still can see icons that are not explained anywhere. Is there a complete list of icons used in GOS with explanations? Maybe with those added by the apps in GOS app store?
Would be really helpful.

Ahh, excellent. Query complete. Thanks folks!

movinrad no worries at all. ;)

movinrad when you expand the notifications, you will see name of each app posting the notification next to it so you can familiarize yourself with them and with time it will become a second nature to you.

If you swipe down from the top of the device screen to access the notifications menu, all icons appear there. Apps use a miniature logo, and if the down / expand arrow for corresponding notification is pushed the app or function name appears.

MKP Graphene uses Material 3 and, although I don't know if Graphene uses all icons as intended, you can see all of them (with their names) here: https://fonts.google.com/icons. There is also a search function which is fairly decent, so if you're looking for an icon with for example a circle, arrow, or ! in it, search for that and everything else gets filtered out.

c86 Thanks, but that unfortunately doesn't solve it. Some apps seem to use different icons in the status bar than for the app, and if there's no notification, I can't see them when swiping down. DNSnet is one example that I found out, but there are others that I still can't identify.

fernlike Thanks, I'll browse a bit and see if it helps for identification!
