Tdesktop: Green dot for users which are online

[devianpctek]

Please add a marker on the contact screen when contacts are online, take for example Plus messenger, it has a green dot in front of the contact and different shades of grey depending on when a contact has been online.

Hi I also have a request :)
When I disable Notifications for a channel , I still get the message count shown on the dock icon under osx. It would be great if we only get notified when someone mentioned us,

@devianpctek Can you please change title to something like "Green dot for users which are online", so people can understand what's the issue about without opening the description?

@daslicht Settings -> Include muted chats in unread count

There's no reliable way to keep track of users' status unless they're in your contact list without polling server all the time, so it's also an API issue.

@stek29 As I also wanted this feature (and this is how I found it), I can tell what are the things that are important to me in this feature, and maybe it could help. From the most important to less:

1. Contacts status - related to what you've said:
   > There's no reliable way to keep track of users' status unless they're in your contact list without polling server all the time, so it's also an API issue.
2. Bots status - are they alive? (I know it might be a bit different from the regular users' behavior)
3. There are too many offline/inactive bots and it's pretty frustrating to check multiple bots just to discover they're not working.
4. All users status - personally for me it's not really important.

• _Also partial implementation - for just some of the three I mentioned would be very useful._

This is now available on Android and iOS, and it's awesome.
Please consider adding to Telegram Desktop as well!
