    Description

      After the releas of Moodle 4.0, the community has expressed their frustration and pain points regarding the activity icons being very similar in shape and color, making harder the scan-ability, distinction and understanding of them in the activity chooser and course page from both teachers/content creators and students perspectives.

      The aim of the redesign is to improve the differentiation of the icons so users can distinguish between activities at a glance, providing different colors and highlighting the icon's shape against the container background.
