AH remote access UI is a bit odd

[lramos15]

Some general feedback:

1. Clicking it and immediately launching me to sign in is a bit odd
2. We cannot use just color to distinguish states for accessibility reasons
3. Yellow seems a bit odd for 'on' as I associate yellow with warning states

Hm, as an alternative icon we could use the disconnect/connect "plug", although to me that more means that I want to connect this window to something, not 'broadcast' my window for other people to connect to. @hawkticehurst thoughts?

Yeah I agree that the plug icon is probably not be the best choice here. I wonder if we could instead create a new variant of the tower icon without the "radio wave" / "wifi wave" bands, so when clicked you can toggle between no bands and with bands icons?

Assuming we like this idea, @mrleemurray could you kick off a request with David H to create this and get it merged into Codicons repo?

Yeah this is a fair call out. Perhaps we could go with a classic blue or even just pick the accent color of whatever theme you are using?

I agree with swithcing to blue. I used the dandelion color originally since that's what we used in the secondary chat bar to indicate Autopilot mode is a super cool feature 😎 and I wanted to be cool too
