I can appreciate the intent here, but I'm not a fan of the overall result. I've been testing this locally today:

<img width="332" height="426" alt="eight" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/40552e2c-4a04-4ab3-a4ed-a422939f473c" />

I don't think it's good to have some icons bigger than others, and sticking out to the side like this. I think it looks messy and inconsistent, compared to the current status of everything being the same size and in a vertical line.

Additionally, I'm not sure if it's intentional that the osm_related_indicator (34x34) is bigger than the default height of the list items (at least here on my machine, at 29px), which makes the indicators overlap with each other. Here's a picture showing the dimensions of the list item.

<img width="460" height="111" alt="Screenshot from 2026-03-18 16-28-25" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/107f6435-3682-4f26-9c71-1b5290b4ef45" />

Overall, I appreciate that the tiny icons with even tinier differences are hard to tell apart. But I think a better solution would be, if easily distinguishable icons are desired, to design distinctive 16x16 icons for these platforms.
