Code-server: Wish adding an icon to show the connection status with the server

Created on 4 Sep 2019  路  3Comments  路  Source: cdr/code-server

While I was writing code, my computer was disconnected from the server for some reason, but I didn't know.
I pressed Ctrl+S to save the file and close the browser, but there was no doubt the file wasn't saved -- I had no idea I was disconnected from the server.
So I wanted to be able to add an icon to show the status of the browser's communication with the server.
Thank you very much!

@code-asher Actually I think we can use the VSCode Remote status used in the status bar for this, wdyt?

Actually in Theia, the status bar changes color and adds a "Offline" in the left of the status bar. I think we can implement that but we wanna be close to the VSCode upstream as possible in v2.

VS Code web ended up adding an indicator before we did. It's in latest master and there will be another pre-release soon. They implemented it as a full-screen notification so there's no missing it.
