Improve Menu Bar Icon/ Information

Feature Request - Improve Menu Bar Icon/ Information

The menu bar icon needs more visual clarity to distinguish between disconnected and connected mode. Suggestion:

  • Disconnected mode should display the icon in a gray shade, while connected mode can be the current icon.
  • Use Low Opacity for the icon when in disconnected mode. This allows the user to very quickly distinguish between connected or disconnected, rather than look at the tiny icon very closely.
  • Provide a few more icon combinations

Add an option to show Connected Time (on the right of the menu bar icon) Suggestion:

  • Provide an option to display elapsed time since connected - e.g. 07:44 meaning 7 hours and 44 minutes, and then switch to xx days for larger values, e.g. 03 days

Amphetamine has done a very good implementation of menu bar information. Maybe you can borrow some ideas about menu displays from that excellent tiny app.

@gspannu Thank you for the useful suggestion! We will definitely discuss this feature request with the developers and possibly implement it later.
