Description
Hey there,
I wanted to follow up on the Trac ticket #1276 regarding the tray icon concept
I'm not TCT! I'm an employee at OpenVPN.
I've attached an overview of the revised design, which includes five states: Idle, Idle with error, Connecting, Active, and Active with error.
You can also view these in Figma at the link provided.

In addition, I've included zips containing the icons in PNG and SVG formats for all sizes.

Please take a look and let me know your thoughts on how we should proceed from here.
Thanks,
Matt (OpenVPN employee)

Research direction
Start by locating the Windows notification-area tray icon implementation and compare its current visuals with the attached SysTrayStates design and Figma reference. Confirm how the five states—Idle, Idle with error, Connecting, Active, and Active with error—are selected; done means the tray icon reflects the supplied designs in each state.
