Description

  • toggles should change colours when toggled
    • development config does this already
    • alert config is visually very difficult to make sense of without this:
    • armed/disarmed slider would benefit from this too (likely with red when armed, possibly a darkish green when disarmed)
  • selectable things/options should have visual icons
    • Joystick button functions by protocol type, as recommended in #617
    • Joystick button and function mappings import+export buttons should have icons
      • I’m thinking standard download and upload for the to/from computer buttons, and then maybe sideways arrows for the to/from vehicle buttons?
    • Views could either have an icon section added, or just use an emoji in the name (e.g. 🎥 / 🗺️ / ⏂)
    • Mini-widget indicators should have their icons and names displayed in the list - the current behaviour is unintuitive:
      • #597 is relevant
