### Bug description

Desktop client v4.0.6 on macOS

Since the step to v4.0.0 there are apparently ongoing issues with the status icon. As you can see below, the taskbar icon shows the tiny green hook, while in fact it is syncing/checking for changes:

I guess this might be linked to the unfortunate icon change that was made when going from 3.x to 4.x. If I understood this correctly, the icons should by now look like [shown here](https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/issues/8916#issuecomment-3526392516), but ever since the 4.x version there is something wrong with the icon. (I don’t want to start the whole "icon too small”-diskussion again, but I really wish the icon would still behave as in v3.17.3 )

Note: See also [here](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/sync-status-in-taskbar-is-not-showing-actual-status/239182/5) where it was suggested to file a report here.

obviously the icon should show the real status
