Changes the gear icon for the more menu to a circle-plus icon. Changes the em…oji icon to its outline version, to make it less similar to the circle-plus icon. Changes the styles (eg. icon sizes) of the toolbar, using a flexbox instead of a grid, with some tweaks and animations to the toggle switch, which occupies a smaller width now. Removes the gray button-bar bottom border. Moves the Insert Date/Time item to the more menu, and changes its icon to a clock. ### Before, hovering more menu <img width="758" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/84d8f5aa-519e-40a2-ba44-d58d7294f6b0" /> ### After, hovering more menu ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b54eac09-9dd0-4b7f-b93c-82d452cc5ded)

the icon of the “more” menu of the composer toolbar was changed from a gear () to a circular disk with a plus (similar to ⊕, but inverted).

However, @discobot still talks about the gear in the advanced user tutorial:

              Let’s try changing the notification level for this topic. At the bottom of the topic, you’ll find a button which shows that you’re **watching** this topic. Can you change the notification level to **tracking**?

Hi @das-g thanks for the report. I alerted our team to this and we will get those strings updated.

chapoi · June 25, 2025, 9:03am

Thanks for the report on that oversight, fixed in

one1 · June 26, 2025, 9:12pm

Will this fix affect existing installs? Or do we need to make this change manually?

Edit to add: In our case we have not overridden the default.

chapoi · June 27, 2025, 3:00pm

Yes, I think it should fix existing installs, when you update.
