If you want to get rid of the green checkmark to indicate that everything is ok, that's fine, but then instead of fading the icon on failure put the red x over it instead. That'd even be a better design than what we originally had.

 

 

Old UI:

Normal icon = disconnected (this never made sense)

Green tick = synced

Blue spinner = syncing

 

Current UI:

Faded icon = disconnected (harder to distinguish)

Normal icon = synced

Proposed UI

 

Red cross = disconnected

Normal icon = synced

Blue spinner = syncing
