It’s how it’s meant to be. This question was also posted back in the days of TJC. Don’t expect to see it changed.

As you find it so annoying, why don’t you extract the icon, edit it and put it back.

It’s my fault. I ask him if he see the icon to report as I didn’t know the official answer. So now it can be marked as closed.

If that is how its supposed to be, I am good with it. Yes, can be closed.

I’m assuming you know how to backup your original and copy the new to a directory.

The original icon is found in;

/usr/share/themes/sailfish-default/meegotouch/z1.75/icons

named;
