Couple of ideas regarding the interface

[ZeVince]

Thank you for your efforts and your work.

Here are a couple of ideas that could greatly improve the interface usability :

• Single instance ! If TunnlTo is currently connected to a tunnel, if we open a second instance and terminate it, the tunnel from the first instance is also closed ! This should never happen. See next point for visual feedback.

• Icon should reflect the connection status, for example : green connected / red disconnected. May be also implement a watchdog to insure the connection is kept alive (see point above)

• Hoovering over the icon should indicate, in a tooltip, to which server we are currently connected (that's the all idea of having profiles), without reopening the main window

• Right click on icon show quick menu to Disconnect/Reconnect to the latest server... or display the list of available servers to chose from

• Toggle main window display/icon with single left click on the icon

• Sort list of saved tunnel configurations to select from

• When adding a new tunnel, if importing, use the file name as default tunnel name

• Resizable at least / Smaller main window (use screen density) ; remember size and position

• Light / Dark theme (I believe it's in the pipeline)

• Make a free entry textbox in the application settings (not tunnel settings), to be able to pass optional parameters to the wiresock-client program (log, lac...) ; I think you add per default -log-level debug, we should be able to configure this optionally

• Option box to show or hide the console, in order to monitor traces

• Portable version ?

Thanks for putting the time into this, they're great suggestions. For a lot of them I'm at the mercy of Tauri's systray icon implementation which is a bit limited/difficult. I'm going to put together a feature pipeline so will add these under the UI section.

It seems Tauri now has a functionality to change system tray icon at will, so maybe this could be revisited:

Also, one UX related note: In the application window, when the connection is up, there's a very small green dot next to text "Enabled", but a very big red button for "Disable". Every time I see that I first get the impression that red indicates something's wrong.

Related to the application window, it would be great, if the top part of box on the right (where that Disable button resides) stayed visible when one scrolls the log lines.
