Thanks for the response. I understand all the reason that you mention for the change, and yes the ability to be represented in monochromatic style is important as well as simplification to favor customization.
But in my view it just lost all its personality, and now it looks kind of generic. More than Telegram as some others say, since the change I have been confusing it with SpakMail. They are almost identical.
Personally, I think just removing the stars but keeping the mountain/pencil tip would help with monochrome representation and customization since it's just a dark and white shape, while keeping the own style of the app.
Whatever course you take, I trust that the feedback will be heard, and the improvements will be continuous.
Thanks and keep the good work.
