Materialdesign: tune-variant Icon

[nithinankam]

I have:

• [x] [Searched the current library](https://materialdesignicons.com/) to make sure the icon doesn't exist.
• [x] Searched open issues to make sure there isn't a request for this icon.
• [x] Followed the material guidelines.

This icon looks like it's the same as tune and tune-vertical which are already in the library.

I understand this is supposed to be a variant, but I don't really see the reasoning for it. Why not just use tune(-vertical)?

[nithinankam]

@goyney It’s for visibility and clarity.
This tune-variant icon is more recognizable for its function vs the given material design ones mentioned above.
It would fall under System icons which symbolize common action. However, I wouldn't be able to reason it out more 'coz it totally has the same purpose of tune but making it more visible and clear.

Just curious are variants of an icon discouraged ?

The lines are rounded, violating Material guidelines.

I don't agree that rounded handles are more recognizable than linear handles. Real sliders have square, not round, handles anyway.

What do you think of a variant with continuous gutters?

[Xenomorph99]

Here's another idea to consider. Figma uses this settings/tune icon in their interface. If we did a rounded variant of ours maybe we drop a line so it's just two like theirs is?

[Xenomorph99]

Like this or maybe shrink the knobs down a bit.

Am fine with either of the above mentioned alternatives, let me know if this request can be addressed or if its decided to be closed.

@nithinankam I think the one @Xenomorph99 shared 3 days ago can be added. Removing the label.
