Pull Request Type

  • Change that more opinionated than fact based

Description

Imo this icon represents what a Playlist is better then the Bookmark one. Also Playlist thumbnails within FreeTube already use this icon to indicate that it is a playlist.

Testing

  • Test how icon looks like in collapsed (default) sidebar view
  • Test how icon looks like in expanded sidebar view
  • Test how icon looks like on smaller window sizes
  • Test how icon looks like in all views when Theme -> Hide Side Bar Labels is enabled

Heh, I was just looking at the icon and thinking "hmm, should we use a different icon instead of the list icon for podcasts and shows"

I prefer this icon too!
While testing, I discovered that small window acts weirdly with the "Hide Side Bar Labels" settings (it works fine in FreeTubeAndroid)

Update : This only happens when "Expand Side Bar by Default" is enabled
