Menu bar widget: idle icon is a malformed three-lobed Adom mark (running state is correct)

Drew Owens · 4d ago

ah 0.1.429 on macOS (build 5c34edd9, public, latest) · ab 1.9.232 (embedded) · adom/core 4.15.3

What I saw: when no prompt is running, the Hydrogen menu bar widget shows a solid black mark with three lobes. The official Adom mark (brand page) has two, top right and bottom left. The extra lobe sits at the bottom right and merges into the other two, so the icon reads as a blob.

Expected: the two-lobed mark in every state.

What happens across states:

  • Prompt running: the correct two-lobed mark, with cycling colours (6 captures).
  • Idle: the black three-lobed mark (3 captures over about 30 seconds after a prompt finished, plus the first screenshot I took).

It changes with state and comes back every time. Hydrogen stayed on 0.1.429 throughout.

Not known:

  • Whether the third lobe is deliberate. It could be a finished-chat notification badge drawn as a monochrome image, which would flatten it into the logo. The README says the widget "collects finished-chat notifications" but doesn't describe a badge. If it is a badge, it needs to read as separate from the mark, for example with a gap or its own colour. I did not click the widget to see whether clearing notifications removes it.
  • Whether this is new in 0.1.429. I have no older build to compare against.

Attached: idle versus running, zoomed from menu bar captures.

@kyle this one is Mac-specific, so it needs testing on a Mac.
