It means there are warnings to be displayed.

Click on the Tunnelblick icon to get the Tunnelblick menu, then click on "Warnings" at or near the top of the menu, then click on a particular warning to see the full warning message.

Hi everyone. I have a bug and a question in regards to the warning state for Tunnelblick:

BUG: warning text not readable in macOS "dark mode" It displays in black text on a dark gray background. See first attached image. 

QUESTION: That alert triangle is pretty incongruous with the rest of the macOS icons. Can someone point me to where that asset lives in the app package and let me know if there is a place where an alternative could be submitted? See second attached image.

Thanks for reporting the problem when in dark mode. I'll look into it.

As to the yellow warning "badge" on the Tunnelblick icon, it is "incongruous" by design. It is supposed to draw your attention. If you want it to go away, fix the underlying problem(s) that the warnings are about, or check "Do not warn about this again" before clicking the "OK' button.

(The yellow triangle isn't an asset inside of Tunnelblick, it's a system asset. Tunnelblick gets it using NSFileTypeForHFSTypeCode(kAlertCautionIcon), then draws it on the Tunnelblick icon before displaying the Tunnelblick icon. It's done that way because the user can specify a custom icon and we want to "badge" any icon that is used.)
