Hi, it doesn't seem clear to me what the icon design is trying to tell me. When I see a rectangle with a white stripe on top (in dark mode) I understand that if I click on the icon I will be switching to horizontal tab mode. For me, and I don't know if you interpret it the same way, the correct one would be the icon that appears in the image suggested above

Deleted Personally, I take as the icon verifying what the current state is, "you are currently in Horizontal tab mode", "You are currently in Vertical tab mode" Dennis5mile

  Dennis5mile Seems like this is only in Canary, recently in Canary they rounded all the icons maybe.

Deleted If you click on the first image (white icon on the top) it will switch to horizontal tabs.

The suggestions you showed would be switching to vertical tabs.
