Hallo und herzlichen Dank für dieses schöne kleine Tool,

ich nutze es erst seit einigen Tagen und bin bisher sehr zufrieden.

Einzig, das Icon Menuleiste für die App ist ziemlich fett, meiner Meinung nach würde es besser aussehen und sich auch besser mit den anderen Icons vertragen wenn es invertiert wäre.

Translation:

Hi and thank you very much for this nice small tool,

I'm using it since a few days and I'm very happy with it.

However, the icon in the menubar appears very prominent (or: bold/fat(?)), IMHO it would look better if it would have been inverted.

Interesting feedback and, indeed, also on my system it stands out from all the others I have:

@mfn thank you for the translation! Regarding the icon, having it hollow (black outline instead of black filling) this is a discussion we had with @fturcheti, when he made the beautiful icons for v3. He made the hollow icon, but in the end I found it less consistent on my system that the full one. This is how the icons compare:

A pattern I often see for menubar apps is that they let the user pick among a few icon styles, so that people can be satisfied with their preferences. Example with Amphetamine:

Or Bartender:

I like this idea, and would like to implement it. However there are issues I would consider far more urgent, so for now I can't really focus on cosmetics like this. If anybody wants to raise a PR, I would merge it for sure though! I think this may be best handled by a library as it is quite a standard approach/functionality.
