Design ideas: Extensions status indication. #4

Closed SaucySauce closed 2 years ago

Larger Colored Dot (the size of the notifications icon) to show if extension is enabled or disabled or non functioning/error. Green for enable, Red for error/ non functioning, none when disabled.

Have the extension settings button next to the title permanent/remove it from the show/hide behavior. Leave the more extreme/destructive functions like REMOVE Extension as is.

I have no idea what the glasses emoji and eye are supposed to do functionally speaking.

ERROR is not a controllable and normal status as enabled/disabled is so that it is better not to put them together. The title would be red if the extension is in ERROR. I prefer the DOT from upstream instead of introducing some other colored dots.

I'll use setting button as fallback.

Do you mean showing all the buttons? I think that would be a bit crowded.

It's for #1.

Use switches to indicate if an extension is on or off?
