Nym VPN icon in Ubuntu 24.04 status bar always green — no clear connection status

[anthony-robin]

Hi,

I'm using Nym VPN on Ubuntu 24.04, and I've noticed that the VPN status bar icon is always green, regardless of whether the VPN is actually connected or not.

This makes it difficult to know at a glance if the VPN is truly active or if there was a connection issue. A more informative icon or tooltip (e.g., showing "Connected" / "Disconnected" / "Connecting") would be very helpful for usability and security awareness.

Steps to reproduce:

• Install Nym VPN v1.17.1 on Ubuntu 24.04.
• Launch the application and observe the status bar icon.
• Disconnect from the VPN or simulate a dropped connection.
• The icon remains green even when not connected.

Expected behavior:
The icon should change color or appearance depending on the actual VPN connection status.

Thanks for your work on Nym — looking forward to seeing this improved!
