--- Comment #2 from Claudius Ellsel <claudius.ell...@live.de> --- I don't really agree. The three dot icon is often used in apps (Android) like the hamburger icon is used for Dolphin. Microsoft uses three vertical dots for that on Windows (in its store at least). Regarding the hamburger icon: That has two different use cases currently. One for expanding lists on the side (as seen on Windows, KDE HIG, Android (Play Store for example). The other one is for menus. Examples are Dolphin, GNOME files (https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Files) and Firefox. This usage leads to confusion for the users (at least for me). Also I think the reason why the hamburger icon is designed that way is because it indicates that one can expand a side panel. So to my current understanding the usage of hamburger icons for menus is misleading in this sense. After having a short research, you are probably somewhat right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburger_button. It was originally designed for menus and is often used for menus. Also some interesting resource on how Android seems to use it: https://material.io/components/app-bars-top#anatomy. And https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/115468/what-the-difference-between-the-2-menu-icons-3-dots-kebab-and-3-lines-hambur. I argue currently there is not much consistency, maybe we can at least improve the situation on KDE. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
