Windows 10: Taskbar Bluetooth Icon - It's ugly!

Hi all,

I am always wondering why can't we have black Bluetooth icon to match the design of all the other icons on the taskbar and be consistent.

There's one for WIFI, why not Bluetooth.




That is how it looks on MacOS, and I think that is how it should look like my opinion.


What do you all think?
Or maybe someone knows any way of changing it for custom one?


Thanks.

:)

  From the Windows 10 desktop, right-click on the taskbar, then select Properties to open the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties box.

  In that window, under Quick actions, left-click on 'Select which icons appear on the taskbar' to open the Settings/SELECT WHICH ICONS APPEAR ON THE TASKBAR window.

  You may have to restart Windows for this change to take effect.
