feature request: color-coding of the 5-pixel strip of fullscreen toolbar
Feature request - low priority
It seems if would be really helpful if remmina displayed its connection state without the need to move mouse or perform other action. Imagine you have a few dozen remote desktops connected and you need to "process" some of them - you rotate through them via "Ctrl+Right" and you need to do something on some of them and avoid others - knowing the read-only state is essential - perhaps even keyboard grab status and clipboard contents readiness ...
Remmina has a menu strip (perhaps called "fullscreen toolbar" elsewhere in remmina preferences) at the top and center of its window with id of displayed remote connection and with icons (for viewport, options, screenshot, ...) and a black-letters on white-stip/-bar with connection name just under that. When mouse leaves that (unpinned) menu, the menu rolls up and only cca 5-pixel strip stays to show that the menu is still there somewhere.

- It would be really helpful if this 5-pixel strip were used for quick (color-coded) connection state indicators. It could display (perhaps near its left or right end) :
-
1.A) red/green pixels when the connection is read-only/read-write
-
1.B) blue/yellow when keyboard is/is not in grabbed state
-
1.C) brown/cyan when content of current local clipboard is caused by remote connection / when content of current remote clipboard is caused by local clipboard
-
1.D), 1.E), 1.F) ... other frequently needed stuff
-
- It would be fabulous if a user could choose in connection preferences a color combination to identify this connection by displaying this color somewhere in the 5-pixel strip (possibly even the white strip) where it would not clash with indicators from (1) above.
kudos!
