            Bug ID: 516023
           Summary: FR: Don't show Notification icon on the panel in do
                    not disturb mode
    Classification: Plasma
           Product: plasmashell
      Version First 6.5.5
       Reported In:

SUMMARY

I normally have the Notifications in the System Tray set to "Shown when
relevant'. This is nice because when I have a notification, the 'bell' icon
appears in my panel, and I know there's something I want to check.

When I put Notifications in Do not Disturb mode, that bell icon (with a slash
through it) appears in my panel, constantly grabbing my attention because
there's an icon there which otherwise only ever appears when there's something
I want to check. 

I can understand the functionality of a reminder that DnD mode is active and
you're not seeing notification popups and you might want to disable that later.
However in my case, I didn't forget, I intentionally wanted it to go away. It
kinda defeats the purpose of 'do not disturb' mode when the disturbance becomes
constant.

I hope there could be an option of how this icon would behave in DnD mode, or
if not an option, I think it'd be best to not show it. Since there's a line
through the icon, I feel like that's reminder enough that DnD is active, since
the user explicitly requested no disturbance. There's also a nice time limit
set now when enabling DnD, which serves as 'guard rails'.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Notifications in the System Tray set to "Shown when relevant'
2. Set do not disturb mode

OBSERVED RESULT
Icon in the corner 

EXPECTED RESULT
No icon in the corner

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Thanks!
