Colorblind Settings/Indicators for Container Status

[RyanTaite]

I'm partially colorblind with both Deuteranopia and Protanopia. I am unable to tell the difference between a stopped (red) or started (green) container in VS Code:

Please either add some icons to it or change the colors to something more drastic such as Blue for started and Red for stopped

@RyanTaite Thanks for reporting. We always try to make sure that important information is not conveyed by graphics or color alone. In this case, the state of the container is contained in the label itself:

Does that not help? Thanks.

Sure, but not at a glance like the icons do for everyone else. I have to expand the side panel until it's literally half my screen to read all of my current environments statues because of how long their names are.

I figure there could be something similar to how Skype and Microsoft Teams handles their presence icons, shown in some photos here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Teams-Blog/What-s-new-in-Microsoft-Teams-April-update/ba-p/179801
