Change desktop app icon color to indicate connection status
The proton VPN app icon currently shows the connection status by showing a tiny cross sign or a tick, which is hardly noticeable when you have a high-resolution monitor. Changing the icon colour will make it much better. This can even be an option for the user to select the icon they would like to see when the connection is established or disconnected.

on the macos dock the icon has 2 colour status; illuminated when connected, greyed when disconnected (from vpn).
when the app is completely closed the dock icon looks the same as the illuminated state suggesting the vpn may be active.
could we rethink the colours so that when the app is closed it matches the icons disconnected status.
ie
app closed / disconnected = vpn off [grey]
app open / disconnected = vpn off [grey]
app open / vpn connected = vpn on [illuminated]
... or something along those lines
