Is your feature request related to a problem?

Although NVIDIA has a tray icon to show GPU status, it sometimes shows the GPU as being inactive when it isn't.

How would you like the problem to be solved?

LLT's tray icon could change to show the GPU's status. For example, a green icon could indicate the GPU is active and can be deactivated, and a blue icon could indicate the GPU is active but cannot be deactivated.

What alternatives have you considered?

The main alternative is the NVIDIA icon, but it isn't always accurate.

I will need to take a look at this. Updating the GPU state might be quite expensive and there is always a risk the fetching information from NVAPI might cause GPU to wake up - that is probably the nVidia icon refreshes very very slowly.

Closing since a tray tooltip containing GPU status was implemented in #571. It's not exactly the same but it's as close as it can be done without polling GPU constantly.
