# The issue Right now the `window-close` icon is a red circle with a white X in it, and we use it in many places outside of the window titlebar. This is problematic for two reasons: - We use the red color for destructive actions, but closing is not an inherently destructive action. Ideally it never should be. - It's visually inconsistent with windows' own close buttons, which are a black X (they turn into a red circle with a white X on hover, but that's a separate topic. {width=600px} However it a good thing for a significant reason: fanciness in notifications. Right now the circular timeout indicator hugs the Breeze icon and it looks very fancy. The current situation is not ideal. We have three options: ## 1. Use a black circle with a white X for all close icons: This is implemented with https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/breeze-icons/-/merge_requests/348 {width=600px} ## 2. Use a black X for all close icons and don't care that notifications' timeout indicators look a little bit odd This is implemented with https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/breeze-icons/-/merge_requests/349#note_1027178 {width=600px} ## 3. Use a black X for all close icons and then come up with a different way of showing notifications' timeout indicators One example of an implementation is https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/4292:  # Desired outcome I would like for us to try to select one of those three options. # Facilitator @linuxpusher The discussion is beginning on 12 September 2024.
