Can't tell difference between on/off at a glance #3

Hi and thanks for the app.

Unfortunately, it is hard to be sure whether this app is on or off at a glance, because on/off icons look very similar. Both look like a cup of black coffee.

I created "milk" overlays (warm milk as sleep aid as an analogy) in Inkscape and rendered them, so that you hopefully will add them. They seem to work on dark/bright/grey backgrounds:

Download 7z (30k) of the milk icons: https://app.box.com/s/jhcgm8p5ti7yetkzdeag

I dedicate my changes to the public domain and no attribution or other terms are required.

If you want to or think that the owner of the original would prefer it, you could add "Milk cup remixed by Iwan Gabovitch"

    Very much this, though I'd prefer a much simpler icon.

    Flat design would fit default theme of icons on windows 10.
    Example:

    Off

    On

    I'd strongly favor a flat or at least much more simplistic design over the current icon. I'd actually been meaning to make a change similar to @hieroglyphic's for my personal use, but haven't had the time.
