Inconsistent Network Status ("Online" vs "Connected" vs Synced) #333
Description
When the wallet is open but syncing blocks the circle status (in the top colored bar) is green and when hovered reads "Connected to Dash Core Wallet", but the table status (from the "Networks" tab) reads "Offline".
That was confusing (I thought it was a UI bug) until I realized that the table status does finally turn to "Online" when the blocks are fully synced (governance objects don't need to be finished syncing).
Personally, I think it would make sense for circle status and table status to use consistent terms (and colors). The table would be the detailed view that shows the status for all networks, while the circle would show the status of the currently selected network (it's nice that it shows regardless of what tab you are on).
Instead of two inconsistent binary statuses ("Connected" / "Disconnected" for the circle and "Online" / "Offline" for the table), I think a consistent status (between circle and table) with more than two states would be better, for example:
- "Disconnected" (or "Offline") - Red
- "Syncing" (or "Connected") - Orange
- "Synced" (or "Online") - Green
(other intermediate stages are possible of course, the above is just an example)
Seeing both "Connected" and "Offline" does not intuitively mean syncing, at least to me.
