[Community Feedback Needed] Play & Pause icon flipped in simplified theme

[7HE-W0R1D]

Device: iPod 5th gen 30GB
Rockbox Version: Release 3.15
Adwaitapod Theme: adwaitapod simplified
Downloaded From: Rockbox Utility
Description:
When playing the music, the triangle "Play" icon is displayed. And when the music is paused, the double vertical dash "Pause" icons is displayed. This is the opposite behaviour as the other music players (rhythmbox, monophony, etc,), where the Play icon is displayed when music is paused, not playing.

Hi there! This is actually intended behaviour as the play & pause icons serve as indicators of the player status rather than buttons. It's more mimicry than actual function in adwaitapod, hence the visual behaviour is the reverse of traditional GUI music players.

I do agree though that this is confusing, I'm not sure if such a major change would be possible though, so I'd like to leave this open and see if other people have opinions on this.

I see :) I tried the adwaitapod non-simplified version and the icons make absolute sense there. They live on the top status bar of the screen, hence serves as the indicator of the current status, like shown in the title image here below.

The problem is that in the simplified version the icons are not on the status bar, but on buttons, so they now shows the intended action, not the current status, of the player, which is just the opposite. Like here in the image.

It's my first time using a player that comes with a screen, so I could be just so used to the GUI players that I just need to learn :)

But it's a great project! As a fedora user I bought an iPod immediately when I saw this theme 🚀
