dns-tray's off state was a red AG shield. Red says something is wrong, and nothing was: the toggle never turns DNS off, it moves systemd-resolved from AdGuard to Cloudflare 1.1.1.2 security — just as encrypted, just as DNSSEC-validated, only filtering malware instead of ads.

It is now a yellow C shield. Red is reserved for warp-tray, which is a real on/off switch and where down really does mean down. The icon names the resolver you are on rather than colour-coding it as a fault.

The notifications were saying the same wrong thing. The off-state one claimed "Disabled — using default DNS", which was never true of either state. Both now name the resolver and the address:

  • AdGuard 94.140.14.14 — ad and tracker filtering
  • Cloudflare 1.1.1.2 — malware filtering, no ad blocking

Tooltips likewise carry the resolver and address instead of "on"/"off".

share/icons/adguard-red.svg is removed and share/icons/cloudflare-shield.svg added. install.sh globs the icon directory, so upgrading needs no extra step; a stale adguard-red.svg from an earlier install is inert and can be deleted by hand.
