Description
Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
- VS Code Version:
- OS Version:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the Omnichat panel in VS Code.
2. Observe the primary Omnichat action/button in the panel and in the toolbar.
3. The button uses an upload-style icon (paperclip/arrow/upload glyph) which visually reads as an "upload" action rather than opening or starting a chat.
Expected:
- The Omnichat button should have a banner or a different icon. note this icon will be reused for the redesign https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/331350
Actual:
- The current icon looks like an upload action, which is confusing and leads users to think they should attach/upload a file.
Notes:
- This is a UI polish/bug: iconography is misleading and reduces discoverability of Omnichat. Please update the icon to better match chat semantics.
