These new icons are causing me slight discomfort? Especially on high-contrast displays in dark mode. The “show” open-eye icon in particular just doesn’t look right to me. Anyone else feeling the same?

Why? Could u try to describe what it makes you feel like?

For me, it is mainly an issue in dark mode on OLED; it seems to significantly worsen with higher contrast. I would assume it is triggering something adjacent to the uncanny valley effect. I would assume it could be fixed by using outlines instead of block colour.

Great addition! But I dont see any:

on 26.210.0 (12359) MacOS

IMHO, this would be much ‘calmer’ for the observer:
